Walked in the bar
Tryin' to have a good time
The place was crowded
But feelin' alright
The band was jumpin'
The people all alive
Singin' songs about ol' times
Grand river of fire
Their taken lives are frightened
Masses runnin' and cryin'
An escape so dire
Sorrow through flames
Woken up, the phone was singin'
An ember night, screams ringin'
The doctor called
He told me "sir
Your daughter sir
She won't be coming home"
Grand river of fire
Their taken lives are frightened
Masses runnin' and cryin'
An escape so dire
Ran out of the bar
Just tryin' to stay alive
The place was crowded
People burning alive
Held my woman's hand
Told her it'll be alright
Grand river of fire
Their taken lives are frightened
Masses runnin' and cryin'
An escape so dire
Sorrow through flames
Grand river of fire
Grand river of fire
Grand river of fire
Grand river of fire
