"The World Is Burning" lyrics

The world is burning with flagrant desire
Our fleeting sense of compassion rewired
The world is burning, we welcome the fire
Revering the liars

Caught in a dream, we're floating in time
The only sense of pride is in falling in line
We're caught in a dream, and no-one can ever reach inside

Caught in a dream
You and I
Caught in a dream
This world of mine
Is the perfect place to die

The world is burning with violent desire
Our latent limbic taste for aggression rewired

The world is drowning in nonsense satire
With the blare of the crowd roaring harder
The world is burning, I plead to the martyrs:
Perish if you must, but lay claim to your honor

Caught in a dream
You and I
Caught in a dream
This world of mine
Is the perfect place for us to cower and hide
Bleeding time
Caught in a dream
This world of mine
Is the perfect place to die

The perfect place to die

Beyond the pale, disconnected
We ever-obliviously peddle the priors projected
To be made again, to be whole again
To be one with the legacy
Disaffected, but never enough to face the pain plainly reflected
To be done with the middle-ground beating of the drum to the common fantasy

Caught in a dream, floating in time
The only sense of pride is in falling in line
Caught in a dream
Can you hear me scream?

Caught in a dream
You and I
Caught in a dream
This world of mine
Is burning, burning
Still we hide, bleeding time
Caught in a dream
This world of mine
Is the perfect place to die

The world is burning, I preach to the choir
The world is burning and welcomes the fire
