Burning Ground

Lyrics

And I take you down to the burning ground
 And you change me up and you turned it around
 In the wind and rain I'm gonna see you again
 In the morning sun and when the day is done
 And you take my hand and you walk with me
 And sometimes it feels like eternity
 And I turn the tide, I get back my pride
 And I make you proud, won't you say it out loud?
 When I take you down to the burning ground
 To the burning ground, to the burning ground
 To the burning ground, to the burning ground
 And I take you down by the factory
 And I show you like it has to be
 Now you understand how the work is done
 And I pick up the sack in the midday sun
 And I pull you through by the skin of your teeth
 And I lift the veil, I see what's underneath
 And you return to me and you sit on your throne
 And you make me feel that I'm not alone
 And I take you down to the burning ground
 To the burning ground, to the burning ground
 To the burning ground
 Hey man, what's that you're carrying?
 Feels like lead
 It weighs a ton, let's see if we can dump it by the side of the hill
 Hey wait up, why don't you dump it on the burning ground
 Ah, dump it down there
 Yeh man, dump the Jute
 Hey man, dump the Jute on the burning ground
 Dump the Jute?
 Yeah, you know, dump the Jute
 Dump the Jute
 On the burning ground
 On the burning ground
 ♪
 And you make me think what it's all about
 Sometimes I know, gonna work it out
 And I watch you run in the crimson sun
 Tear my shirt apart, open up my heart
 And I watch you run
 Down on your bended knees
 By the burnt out well
 Can you tell me, please?
 Between heaven and hell
 Won't you take me down?
 To the burning ground, to the burning ground
 To the burning ground, to the burning ground
 ♪
 To the burning ground, to the burning ground
 To the burning ground
 And you fall and pray when you hear that sound
 When we'll walking back to the burial mound
 And you shake your head and you turn it around
 And you see the flames from the burning ground
 Yet you get down on your knees and pray
 And I catch my breath as we're running away
 And I take the Jute and I throw him down
 On the burning ground, on the burning ground
 On the burning ground, it's on the burning ground
 Oh-oh, on the burning ground, on the burning ground
 Oh, on the burning ground, it's on the burning ground
 It's on the burning ground
