We set out at dusk

We left them, well, not much

The boys were shoutin' and kickin' up dust

Oh and as we ran

With the fire behind us

And the torch in my hand

I knew I couldn't do it again



The ghosts were howlin' in the late afternoon

We were singin' along to the same old tune

I turned to my brothers to look 'em in the eyes

And there was ash....ash falling from the sky



The moon cast a little light but the flames lit up the night

All the animals laid down and died and there was ash.....

Oh and as we ran with the fire behind us and the torch in my hand

I knew I couldn't do it again



The ghosts were howlin' in the late afternoon

And we were singin' along to the same old tune

I turned to my brothers to look 'em in the eyes and there was ash....fallin' from the sky



And who could tell the dogs from the men?

I seen their faces and I know where they've been

I know I'm with 'em but I ain't like them! I--



And who could tell the dogs from the men?

I seen their faces and I know where they've been

I know I'm with 'em but I ain't like them! I--



It makes me so tired

I was like smoke without the fire

And I know I ain't like them, no!
