Ignite

You long to set the world straight

But you will fail if you wait or hesitate

So, take aim and pull the trigger back

There was a time when I knew of love and amity

But it faded like the warmth inside a falling tear

Is it a crime to see fault in our humanity?

Why do we create this cycle of hate, breeding more fear?

There’s a pain deep inside of me

And you’re struggling to stay alive

But if we last I know

We’ll live to see a brighter tomorrow

You long to set the world straight

But you will fail if you wait or hesitate

So, take aim and pull the trigger back

Through every fear that you fight

You’re giving life to a spark of crimson red

It burns bright just waiting to ignite

As our impulses ring aloud

This world’s evolving to the sound of a new beginning

It cries at last, that relentless sound I know so well

Always deafening but I can never pull away

The die is cast and you can’t restart or change the past

But if given only one more chance could you carve the way?

I can feel it waste away inside

But the fire in me hasn’t died

And I would rather sell my soul

Than watch it all slowly fade away

I’m sick of being afraid

And living by the mistakes that I have made

But I’ll change that with these hands of mine

Believing in something more

I’ll carve a path through that rusted doorway

There’s still more that’s still worth fighting for

Our battle cry is rising higher

As raw emotion fuels the fire

Piercing through the night sky

The shooting stars fall upon the darkness

Until the skies are pitch black and starless

But when the world is reborn the curtains open wide

You long to set the world straight

But you will fail if you wait or hesitate

So, take aim and pull the trigger back

Through every fear that you fight

You’re giving life to a spark of crimson red

It burns bright just waiting to ignite

As our impulses ring aloud

This world’s evolving to the sound of a new beginning
