"Spark" lyrics

Do you hear it? The steel? The screams? The breaking of men?
I wonder if the earth will even remember their names?
I struck someone... and they fell so fast.
But when his eyes met mine...
I saw myself... Like a mirror... Before it faded.

It was just a little spark. Dancing in the wind.
Unassuming, it descends into the night
We payed it little mind, at first
We should have known, their plan, their LIE!

It was just a little smoke
Creeping underneath our door, like we've ignored so many times before
But you've broken us down
That little spark you tried to hide
Is now burning from inside

You light the flame, we'll give you ashes
If you rig the game, we'll bring the masses
When everything you built collapses
And all is said and done, we'll see who's really won

It all started with a flash. Then we felt the blast.
I still recall... The smell of burning tires.
Then someone yelled, "hit the ground!" with scattered bodies all around
That "little" spark... just set the world on fire!

You light the flame, we'll give you ashes
If you rig the game, we'll bring the masses
When everything you built collapses
And all is said and done, we'll see who's really won

Was the cost worth the risk? How did we end up like this?
Do we lend a helping hand, or raise an angry fist?
That blank stare in the mirror, do they see what I see?
Who here has been chosen?
Was it you? Was it me?
(A bitter fight awaits.) A bitter fight still awaits.
A decider of fates. Death still calls for us all...
The ones who're forced to wait

You lit the flame, we gave you ashes
You rigged the game, we brought the masses
Nobody ever really wins these fights!
Was it worth all of the pain and sacrifice?
(You lit the flame!)
They always wanted us to burn
(You rigged the game!)
When are we ever gonna learn?
(Who takes the blame?!)
All hope is lost if we don't try!
Try to change what we've become
We're gonna burn for what we've done!
We're gonna burn!
