"Heat Above" lyrics

"Heat Above"

Sorrows of the earth
May our tears of rain wash down to bathe you
This is what life is worth
When the fires still burn and rage all around

Can you hear that dreadful sound
Fire still burning on the ground

Follow the fearsome sound
As they march to battle, hear the drums pound
We do not fight for war
But to save the lives of those who do so

Can you hear that dreadful sound
Fire still burning on the ground

Can you feel my love
Rising with the heat above
Life's the story of
Ascending to the stars as one

Marching across the land
Is a peaceful army joining the band
Walking hand in hand
To an anthem loudly sung where they stand

Can you hear that dreadful sound
Fire still burning on the ground

Can you feel my love
Rising with the heat above
Life's the story of
Ascending to the stars as one

The lines "a peaceful army joining the band" and "To an anthem loudly sung" refer to the title of the Greta Van Fleet's first album, "Anthem Of The Peaceful Army".
Sam Kiszka, Greta Van Fleet's bassist, explained, "There's plenty of love left in this world, even though it may not seem like it. And that's what 'Heat Above' is about: rising to the stars together."
Speaking with Apple Music's Zane Lowe about the album this song belong to, Sam Kiszka commented on "Heat Above", "In a way, it acts as a bit of a thesis in this whole body of work. And it really does, I think, particularly bridge the previous album with this newest album."
