Wynter Gordon - World On Fire lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Born in 91 in the native sun

Like a falling star transcending

It had just begun when the west was one

And the olden ways were abandoned

(Pre-Chorus)

And there was no light and we were ok

And there were machines that'll keep us safe

And we had our bums, and we had our peace

And were like gods, we were living like kings

In our glory, the eagles flew up

In our glory, we gave ourselves a way

(Chorus x2)

We set the world on fire

We set the fire standing right in the middle of it

We let the flames grow higher

We light the world up

We light the world up

(Verse 2)

When the rock gets full, when the bombs, they blew

When we hid away in a canyon

No, we can't pretend, cuz we know our sin

But we just keep taking our chances

(Pre-Chorus)

And there was no light and we were ok

And there are machines here to take our place

And there is no-one, and there is no peace

And we were playing god, we were living like kings

(Chorus x2)

(Bridge)

Who's gonna comfort me?

Oh now oh now oh now

Who's gonna cry for me?

Oh now oh now oh now

When I'm on my knees

Calling out, calling out

Oh, now

Who's gonna set me free?

Oh now oh now oh now

(Chorus)
