Lyrics Guadalcanal Diary

Guadalcanal Diary

Fire From Heaven

Her eyes look up with tears of dust

Her breath all smoke, she left hanging

She heard a voice that came so near

A lowly life in darkest night

All the power of heaven,

No moon on nights like this

Two hands reach up

Nothing, nothing, nothing but the fire

These rooms where she had moved

A life all squeezed into these walls

She gazed out at the night

And wrote her dream across the sky

All the power of heaven,

No moon on nights like this

Two hands reach up

Fire from heaven

Fire from heaven

Strangest things drove her mad,

Someone she knew but never had

So don't call her anything,

She sang this chain of lies

All the power of heaven,

No moon on nights like this

Two hands reach up

Nothing, nothing, nothing but the fire
