lyrics

Long ago this all was forests.
Where the wolf packs used to roam.
And stone circles told of humans
more connected than we could ever know.

Then the march of revolution
took the trees and turned our gaze to a thin steel pole.

And now the hill is burning down the hill is burning down.
Scorch marks on my dressing gown the hill is burning down.

You can see the smoke from space.
Then the scene cuts to the news.
Where the red and orange flicker
on the belly of the chopper
plays with themes of anguish and doom.

Take the film rights, take the song.
Cos the true arts in the moment when flint hits the stone.

And now the hill is burning down the hill is burning down.
Scorch marks on my dressing gown the hill is burning down.
And now the hill is burning down the hill is burning down.
Scorch marks on my dressing gown the hill is burning, its burning down.

Smoking blackout curtain.
Visionary or vandal.
Culprit or creator.
Arsonist or artist.

At last the buzz is leaving town now the hill is burning down.
I hit em with the big guns
Blind and deafen em!
Blind and deafen em!!

Oh the hill is burning down, the hill is burning down.
Shake to the flicker,
move to the beat of the fire-beaters beating back retreat retreat retreat!
Now the hill is burning down, the hill is burning down.
scorch marks on my dressing gown
scorch marks on my dressing gown.
I'l rise again before the heat dies down.
The hill is burning down!
