Twmbarlwm Is On Fire
The mystic site of the Iron Age Fort of Twmbarlwm is north of Risca in South Wales but kids constantly set fire to the surrounding forests and hillsides and stoned the fire crews….
TWMBARLWM IS ON FIRE
Twmbarlwm is on fire
It’s been burning for days
If you look past the falling ash
There are houses ablaze
Some blame the parents
They blame the schools
We blame the system
For making us all fools
For making us all fools
These children have no future
They barely have a past to call their own
Which is why they feel alone – at home.
The world could end oh so soon
Flames bring down the spires
Smoke obscures such a beautiful moon
Twmbarlwm is on fire
Some blame the preachers
Who can’t pray for rain
Some blame religion
For binding us in chains
For binding us in chains
These children have no future
They barely have a soul to call their own
Which is why they’re not afraid of God.
We don’t need their Hell Marys now
When Mary’s Hell is coming soon
To a cinema near you
To a cinema near you.
Shadows sliding through the dark
Mesmerised by sirens
matches strike such a sullen spark
Throwing stones at the firemen
Some blame the media
Some blame mankind
Some blame our leaders
For robbing us blind
For robbing us blind
These children have no future
They barely have a heart to call their own
Which is why they’re far too cold to care.
We don’t need their Hell Marys now
When Mary’s Hell is coming soon
To a cinema near you
To a cinema near you.
