Going down like a dead man walking One step from a body in a coffin Just one, one of the fallen Waking up to a blood moon, howling Can't drown it out, even with the medicine Tearing through me like a bullet of adrenaline Arms heavy, face down on a death bed Blame the gods while choking on the violence In the end, silence is deafening Can you hear the crowd like a thousand sirens? In the night like thunder striking The sickness is rising The angels are crying That's the sound of a world on fire Stressed out, head trauma, took a beating Takes more than a pill to numb the feeling Bang, bang, no mercy for the healing Oh, twenty dead without a fight, without a reason Twenty more in a cop car, bleeding All tryin' to win a war without a meaning Can you hear the crowd like a thousand sirens? (lost in silence) In the night like thunder striking (in a sea of silence) The sickness is rising The angels are crying That's the sound of a world on fire World on fire World on fire Arms heavy, face down on a death bed Blame the gods while choking on the violence In the end, silence is deafening Can you hear the crowd like a thousand sirens? (lost in silence) In the night like thunder striking (in a sea of silence) The sickness is rising The angels are crying That's the sound of a world on fire Fire Yeah, can you hear the crowd like a thousand sirens? (lost in silence) In the night like thunder striking (in a sea of silence) The sickness is rising The angels are crying World on fire, world on fire, world on fire, yeah World on fire, world on fire, world on fire The sickness is rising The angels are crying That's the sound of a world on fire
