[Lyric] Dancing While the House Is Burning (Arlen Salte)

Just outside Chicago, in the hollow of the night
A house is burning brightly, the flames are rising high
I look into the window and horror fills my eyes
People dance in blindness, their children terrified

I shout the warning
Loud and clear
Our deadly dance goes on
We still refuse to hear

Dancing while the house is burning
Laughing while the walls are tumblin' in
I don't know how long we can dance in our pride
The fire is high

I have seen the victims of a world that seldom cares
Of a pеople choosing blindness as they closе their eyes in prayer
We can sanctify inaction, turn deaf to the alarm
We can deify our appetites while the fire rages on

Now hear the hardness of the lost
While Jesus rescued dancers
They spiked Him to a cross
Dancing while the house is burning
Laughing while the walls are tumblin' in
I don't know how long we can dance in our pride

We've seen throughout the ages
The proud and callous rise and fall
From self-consuming passions
Must we always choose the worst inside us all?

Dancing while the house is burning
Laughing while the walls are tumblin' in
I don't know how long we can dance in our pride
The fire is high
The fire is high
