Jensen - The World Is Burning Lyrics

Oh the world is burning
Just look around you
The world is burning
So burn it down
The world is burning
Just look around you
The world is burning
So burn it down

The world burning down around me
I just can't take the sound please
Someone make it go away
I don't think I'll survive another day in this hellscape
My mind is my only cellmate
And the voices inside all tell me
The choices that lead us here are hell made
And the people that made them are far away
Not having to suffer the consequences of the choices they made
You can try to make a difference
But to them we're all the same
You can try to make it equal
You can play the games they play
You can say they're not deceitful
But you'll never get away
I've seen men become monsters
I've seen monsters become heroes
I've heard lies from impostors
I've seen the fall of pharaohs
I've heard cries from the blackened throats of tattered children
Thanks to the lies of a flattered misanthropic villain
I've been fighting for survival ever since I met my rival
I've been training every day for the time of his arrival
I've been betrayed and I've been screwed
Beaten cut scarred and bruised
Treated like garbage abused but not defeated

Oh the world is burning
Just look around you
The world is burning
So burn it down
The world is burning
Just look around you
The world is burning
So burn it down

Now you might be asking how did the world get like this
Respect went out of fashion we denied out divine likeness
It's scary how contrary it is to our very nature
To amplify every lie just to put ourselves in danger
I've been lost in the black of a world that's turned to ash
For so long now I know I can never turn it back
I've forgotten how it feels to have a warm bath
Clean clothes good food
If I could I would take it back
That's why I'm here
This is a message from me to the past
Follow this dark road and it will be your very last
You give your money to the state and expect them pay you back
Hand them the knife don't be surprised when they stab you in the back
Hand too much authority to order and soon chaos reigns
Back and forth for ever and ever the pendulum swings
Remember they're supposed to serve you not the other way around
My world is over we blew it resurface before you drown

Oh the world is burning
Just look around you
The world is burning
So burn it down
The world is burning
Just look around you
The world is burning
So burn it down

The world is burning
Just look around you
The world is burning
So burn it down

Oh the world is burning
Just look around you
The world is burning
So burn it down
The world is burning
Just look around you
The world is burning
So burn it down
