Will there be a future to look back from?
Feels like God is long gone
From the creatures who created him
We could give it all away
This machinery of violence
Still we gather for a feast of praise
To the devouring mouth of war
This is a fire
This is a revelation
Don't let it burn out
Don't let it fade away
Let's run all the red lights
Make no promises
Live like young lovers
Who've never known heartache
Between the dark and dawn
Kings are killing people in the streets
Their ghosts are left to walk on
Through the nightmares of these bitter men
Golden towers climb towards the sky
A sparkling palace of sin
And still we act so surprised
That we are so hollow
This is a fire
This is a revelation
Don't let it burn out
Don't let it fade away
Let's run all the red lights
Make no promises
Live like young lovers
Who've never known heartache
Standing on your own
While you struggle to survive
Left you standing all alone
While you struggle to survive
This is a fire
This is a revelation
Don't let it burn out
Don't let it fade away
Where did we go wrong? Will there be a future to look back from? Feels like God is long gone From the creatures who created him We could give it all away This machinery of violence Still we gather for a feast of praise To the devouring mouth of war This is a fire This is a revelation Don't let it burn out Don't let it fade away Let's run all the red lights Make no promises Live like young lovers Who've never known heartache Between the dark and dawn Kings are killing people in the streets Their ghosts are left to walk on Through the nightmares of these bitter men Golden towers climb towards the sky A sparkling palace of sin And still we act so surprised That we are so hollow This is a fire This is a revelation Don't let it burn out Don't let it fade away Let's run all the red lights Make no promises Live like young lovers Who've never known heartache Standing on your own While you struggle to survive Left you standing all alone While you struggle to survive This is a fire This is a revelation Don't let it burn out Don't let it fade away Explain Request ×
