Raven Echo - Diesel Funeral Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Found you face down on the bathroom floor
Needle still stuck in your arm, cold to the core
Empty cans of diesel in the corner there
Mom's crying downstairs, no heat, no prayer

[Chorus]
We're burning diesel dreams tonight
Stealing fuel just to survive
Your overdose won't be in vain
This working class will rise again

[Verse 2]
Derek's got connections underground
Trading favors, barely making sound
Construction sites left to decay
We take what's left at break of day
F*ck their profits, f*ck their greed
We'll do whatever that we need

[Bridge]
Council estate's a graveyard now
Empty promises, they won't show how
To keep us warm, to keep alive
While suits and ties just watch us dive

[Chorus]
We're burning diesel dreams tonight
Stealing fuel just to survive
Your overdose won't be in vain
This working class will rise again

[Verse 3]
Sheffield's heart stopped beating years ago
Factory smoke replaced with winter snow
Your funeral's just another day
In this town that's burned away
But I won't let you fade to black
Like all the others who won't come back

[Outro]
So light it up and watch it burn
These diesel dreams will never learn
Your ghost still haunts these empty streets
While we all dance to dead heartbeats
