The World Is Burning - Ember Falls

The world is burning with flagrant desire

Our fleeting sense of compassion rewired

The world is burning, we welcome the fire

Revering the liars

Caught in a dream, we’re floating in time

The only sense of pride is in falling in line

We’re caught in a dream, and no-one can ever reach inside

Caught in a dream

You and I

Caught in a dream

This world of mine

Is the perfect place to die

The world is burning with violent desire

Our latent limbic taste for aggression rewired

The world is drowning in nonsense satire

With the blare of the crowd roaring harder

The world is burning, I plead to the martyrs:

Perish if you must, but lay claim to your honor

Caught in a dream

You and I

Caught in a dream

This world of mine

Is the perfect place for us to cower and hide

Bleeding time

Caught in a dream

This world of mine

Is the perfect place to die

The perfect place to die

Beyond the pale, disconnected

We ever-obliviously peddle the priors projected

To be made again, to be whole again

To be one with the legacy

Disaffected, but never enough to face the pain plainly reflected

To be done with the middle-ground beating of the drum to the common fantasy

Caught in a dream, floating in time

The only sense of pride is in falling in line

Caught in a dream

Can you hear me scream?

Caught in a dream

You and I

Caught in a dream

This world of mine

Is burning, burning

Still we hide, bleeding time

Caught in a dream

This world of mine

Is the perfect place to die

The world is burning, I preach to the choir

The world is burning and welcomes the fire
