Fires Beneath - Nancy Nasibo Mutize

Vocals and M'bira by Nancy Nasibo Mutize Violin - Hannah K Watson Composed by Rod Johnson Arrangement by Matt Love Produced by Chioneso Rutsito Mixed by Hpol Winter storms Hold you in these walls Their fury felt in every stone Up above, angry chimneys call Their murmur Rising to a moan Like a voice, squeezing through the teeth From the fires beneath Shadows fall, Driving out the days The wounded innocents are bound The drunken groundskeeper Gathers up the strays In the quiet you can hear a sound Like a knife, Sliding from its sheath In the fires beneath No matter where we step The earth is made of glass And we can See the world to come At last [instrumental verse] In the morning, Pleasure over all Everything promises delight But in the evening, Sorrow comes to call No one escapes Its bite Like a thorn In a funeral wreath Sent from the fires beneath From the fires beneath From the fires beneath From the fires beneath From the fires beneath
