Lyrics

Some people say the end is near
And some say that it's already here
But I won't feel the slightest fear
If my arms are full of you
Maybe we will suffocate
On poison fumes and clouds of hate
But I don't care about my fate
If my arms are full of you
I just want to hold you while the world burns
Let it burn, burn, burn
Crushed by the oceans mighty waves
Or ripped apart by robotic slaves
I won't mind the crowded graves
If my arms are full of you
Burned alive by bitter ash
Or a supernovas blinding flash
Well, I won't mind that biting lash
If my arms are full of you
I just want to hold you while the world burns
Let it burn, burn, burn
I just want to hold you while the world burns
Let it burn, burn, burn
