[Verse 1]
Like a snap of the finger
It was just that quick
The building had fallen, shattered and melted
Under the heat
We found a buddy who was covered in blood
He kept on trying to get up and look
Lay down, lay down, lay down, marine
Under the heat

[Chorus]
All our lives changing under the heat
All our lives changing under the heat

[Verse 2]
"Take your cameras and get out of here!"
"Forget it," said the C.O.
"You're out of line"
"You're angry, I'm angry, they're angry, just do the job"
Under the heat
We stopped to listen for voices
And then we'd dig with whatever we had
Listen and dig, listen and dig, listen and dig
Under the heat

[Chorus]
All our lives changing under the heat
All our lives changing under the heat
[Bridge]
Reaching through this curtain of fear
My arms are stretched beyond the limit
I take the heat from streaming tears
To bear the cold and walk out in it
Walk out in it
Yeah!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
All my plans for the future
Are a frozen picture
That has fallen and shattered and melted
Under the heat

[Chorus]
All our lives changing under the heat
All our lives changing under the heat
All our lives changing under the heat
Under the heat
Under the heat
Under the heat
