Kero Kero Bonito - When The Fires Come Lyrics






When the hills are aglow with the light at the end of the day
And we usher our children into the shade
In the warm summer silence suspended aloft in the air
There a cricket sings alone
Ancient songs of home
Where now
Deep in the forest
That no one dares to see or know
A young spark smoulders

All around the world they weep
Now they know it's true-true-true-true
The Sun's returned to send us home to Earth
Everybody takes their time making work to do-do-do-do
But no one will be left here to remember us
When the fires come

As a pillar of smoke reaches over to strangle the land
We desert all we have as fast as we can
For the valleys
Then I see when I look right behind me
At the seam of the rocks and the trees, it roars
It's angry

All around the world they weep
Now they know it's true
The Sun's returned to send us home to Earth
Everybody takes their time making work to do
But no one will be left here to remember us
When the...
All around the world they weep
Now they know it's true-true-true-true
The Sun's returned to send us home to Earth
Everybody takes their time making work to do-do-do-do
But no one will be left here to remember us
When the fires come
When the fires come
When the fires come

    “The sun’s returned to send us home to earth”
    I don’t know about you, but that seems like a threat. And the fact that I don’t know what that means makes it 10x creepier to me.

  13. M.... W....

  29. 1.... G....

    This music is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CHILL!!!!!

  30. L.... B....

    Mad max by way of nausica of the wind valley by way of Atlantis

  32. P.... ....

    Hopefully, after the fires have come & gone. We'll still be left with amazingly poignant music such as this.

  33. P.... ....

    EP OF THE YEAR!

  34. h.... ....

  44. t.... ....

    Anyone else from New South Wales, Australia who finds that both the content and timing of this song’s release hits close to home?

    i came here from "The One True Path" , they mentioned "the civilization" on the lyrics and this EP is called?
    Coincidence???

  61. J.... S....

    I first read the title as "When the Fries Come" and immediately thought to myself about how that is totally appropriate subject matter for a song.

  62. A.... Y....
