Black Smoke Rising Lyrics Meanings
by Greta Van Fleet

I didn't know there was a tower
Where they look out to the land
To see the people quickly passing by
This is for their own desire
As they spit down to the earth
To feel the power
Boiling in their veins

Oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Yeah

And the black smoke rises
From the fires we've been told
It's the new age crisis
And we will stand up in the cold
Stand up in the cold

Many people are dividing
And a world apart With just one heart
Is bound to keel and fade away
None of us will be deciding
And the fate of man is in the hands
Of he who stands and heeds the call

Oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Yeah

And the black smoke rises
From the fires we've been told
It's the new age crisis
And we will stand up in the cold
Stand up in the cold

Oh oh
Oh oh

We won't stand alone, we will stand up in the cold
(Oh oh) we won't stand alone, we will stand up in the cold (stand up in the cold)
We won't stand alone, we will stand up in the cold (we will stand up in the cold)
Yeah

And the black smoke rises
From the fires we've been told
It's the new age crisis
And we will stand up in the cold

And the black smoke rises
From the fires we've been told
It's the new age crisis
And we will stand up in the cold
Stand up in the cold
