There was a man and he knew what he wanted
he couldn't not rest 'till it finally came
throughout the land all the people were haunted
till they were blessed with red ashes and rain
take a letter to the king of the hill
say the people were dying, they're dying still
tell him only that the world's on fire tonight
yeah, i see faces in the window
i see men outside my door
there's a candle burning bright in the kitchen tonight
as the boys go off to war
this is a time when the fools have the trigger
when we were sure they were finally gone
the draw the lines set the rules get bigger
and you and me are only carried along
so take a letter to the king of the hill
say the people were dying, they're dying still
tell him only that the world's on fire tonight
yeah, i see faces in the window
i see men outside my door
there are candles burning bright in the kitchen tonight
as the boys go off to war
faces in the window
faces in the window faces in the window
faces in the window
let the boys go off to war
faces in the window
faces in the window
as the boys go off to war
faces in the window
faces in the window
faces in the window
and i see faces in the window
i see men outside my door
there are candles burning bright in the kitchen tonight
as the boys go off to war
faces in the window
faces in the window
faces in the window
faces in the window
