Verse 1

Two young lads on distant shores

Tending to the rigors of their daily chores

Their parents tell them what's going on

 N/C ~ ~

and they're waiting for the fire

Two young men on distant shores

Tending to the rigors of their social norms

The news reel tells them what's going on

 N/C ~ ~ ~

and they're waiting for the bombs

Chorus

Waiting for the fire

The heat is rising and their tongues are getting drier

The culmination of an ancient time

 N/C ~ ~

They are waiting for the fire

Waiting for the fire

They are waiting for the fire
