Written by Maya Love Coppola
lyrics
They were the first ones to stand by the fire
watching it fan then watching it die
they never dreamed of the trouble they'd cause
when the fire burned out and the west had lost
How do we take it back
to where it began
as simpler men?
How do we make our way
from castles of steel
with wheels made of clay?
They held their flag up all tattered and worn
praying for mercy to a prince crowned in thorns
they never dreamed that it end this way
while waiting for rapture in a twist of fate
How do we take it back
to where it began
as simpler men?
How do we make our way
from castles of steel
with wheels made of clay
Wooooooooo hoo
We were the first ones to stand by the fire
fanning the flames we watched it grow higher…
