Lyrics: Meat Puppets. Rise to Your Knees. Ice.

How could they be in the sea?
The fence across the smokey field
And here inside these raging roads
These deformed fires have been defused

All across the faceless plain
The winds have grown to feed the flame
And here beside this flowery pond
The snakes have come to feed upon

And the wind blew away in fear
And the smoke blew from here to here

The ice is on the vine
Smoke is on the wire
Eyes on fire

The ice is on the vine
Smoke is on the wire
Eyes on fire

How could they begin to see
The smoke across the stokey tree?
And here inside the faceless plain
The winds have blown to feed the flame

Drag into this flowery pond
The snakes have come to feed upon
Beneath the limbs and giant leaves
The storm is raging on unseen

And the wind blew away in fear
And the smoke blew from here to here

The ice is on the vine
Smoke is on the wire
Eyes on fire

Drag into this flowery pond
The snakes have come to feed upon
Beneath the limbs and giant leaves
The storm is raging on unseen

And the wind blew away in fear
And the smoke blew from here to here

The ice is on the vine
Smoke is on the wire
Eyes on fire

The ice is on the vine
Smoke is on the wire
Eyes on fire

The ice is on the vine
Smoke is on the wire
Eyes on fire

The ice is on the vine
Smoke is on the wire
Eyes on fire

The ice is on the vine
Smoke is on the wire
Eyes on fire

Ice on fire
Ice on fire
Ice on fire
