World's On Fire

(intro) Watched from a distance it’s beautiful Somebody’s caught in the undertow Have you ever felt desperation Cause the salt water’s filling your lungs We’re in regret of where we sleep Promises never meant to keep When all that the shadows need Is a good man to hide in a dream Do they know that the world’s on fire Time is a price you can’t afford An empty glass and an open door You get what you pay for in sweat And a voice says please don’t forget Do they know that the world’s on fire Do they know that the time is now Do they know that you’ve got to stand up stand up Use your voice speak out Do they know that it’s time Caught in a maze you can’t escape The flickering lights and the colored lens The walls that we build just close in Until we decide to begin Are we distracted by the sun The glittering jewels and the beating drums Is it going the distance we fear Have you heard that we’re already here Do they know that the world’s on fire Do they know that the time is now Do they know that you’ve got to stand up stand up Use your voice speak out Do they know that the world’s on fire Do they know that the time is here Do they know that you’ve got to stand up stand up Let your voice be clear Do they know that it’s time Some will say we’ve gone to far We’re on the edge, we’re in too deep Some will say we’re too far gone You can’t erase a tragedy (solo) Do they know that the world’s on fire Do they know that the time is now Do they know that you’ve got to stand up stand up You’ve got to stand up stand up Do they know that the world’s on fire Do they know that the time is here Do they know that you’ve got to stand up stand up Let your voice be clear Do they know that it’s time Do they know, do they know
