Step Inside from Losing Teeth by The Scarring Party

Step Inside

The sky did not open
The seal remained unbroken
The trumpets never sounded
Only rifles broke the silence
I looked into my lord’s eyes, and I saw fire

Like a lion with his pride
Or Alexander with a spear in his side
Like Josiah’s kingdom burning
This was mine
Step inside

Step inside this fire
I’ve set for you and I
See the wheel that turned in Ezekiel’s eye
Step inside and see it burn in mine

I gathered all of the branches I could carry in my hands
Casting my seed down to the wind and stony ground
I took my branches hands inside the fire

Like a long plough-bent sword
Buried deep in my throat
Like a lamb off to the lion’s den
Off we went… off we went

Step inside this fire
I’ve set for you and I
See the wheel that turned in Ezekiel’s eye
Step inside and see it burn in mine
