Lyrics
This Fire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Our city isn't perfect
Our city is a blaze of neon flare
Does anybody care
Fractured lines in the pavement
Embers colour the air
These streets we named
Will never be the same
This fire, this fire, this fire, we let it all burn
People fall into silence
The wind she whistles a song
Of hopelessness
That carries like a hymn
Our city is a burden
The waste land under our feet
We've come to know
Will never be enough
This fire, this fire, this fire, we let it all burn
If all we do is blame
And noone cares to listen
Theres nothing left to say
But if we stake our claim
Let action speak the loudest
We'll dance beyond the flames
This fire, this fire we let it all burn
