01. This World Is Burning

Music by Frederick Thunder
Lyrics by Frederick Thunder / Willy Norton
Spread the disease
Brave desolation
Hail to the chief
The rape of a nation
Liars and thieves have kicked down the door
The people survive on the scraps from the floor
Silent elites
Contrive deviation
Twisted beliefs
Revive segregation
Profits of power are hidden off-shore
The world is undone by a knave and his whore

Let your spirit fly
Say your last goodbye and
Fade into the everlasting oceans
Just watch them fall apart
Staring at the sun
Blinding everyone and
Melting in the heat of their devotion
This world is burning

Schemers unleashed
Preaching psychosis
False bittersweet
Crushing the hopeless
Madness, corruption, the brink of a war
Justice is too blind to settle the score
Violent release
Seductive hypnosis
Forced to retreat
Obscene and corrosive
Money and vanity spit on the law
The cost of a lie doesn't count anymore

Let your spirit fly
Say your last goodbye and
Fade into the everlasting oceans
Just watch them fall apart
Staring at the sun
Blinding everyone and
Melting in the heat of their devotion
This world is burning

Standing at the door
Tell me what will you settle for

All that's within
Is there for the taking
All that's without
Is damned and forsaken
All that we've lost
Diminished and broken
All gone to hell
The people have spoken

Let your spirit fly
Say your last goodbye and
Fade into the everlasting oceans
Just watch them fall apart
Staring at the sun
Blinding everyone and

Building walls to keep you safe
Never practice what they're preaching
Stand in line to be betrayed
Self-deception, double dealing
Life will never be the same
Losing sight of what we're missing
Freedom pills are up for sale
Close your eyes the night is here to stay
