World on Fire Songtext
von Daughtry

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
