Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I'll try to hold it in
Yeah, I'll try to hold it in
[Verse 2]
World is on fire
It's more than I can handle
Tap into the water
Try to bring my share
Try to bring more
More than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able
[Verse 3]
I watch the heavens but I find no calling
Something I can do to change what's comin'
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
Don't wanna be left alone
Don't wanna be alone
[Verse 4]
The world is on fire
It's more than I can handle
Tap into the water
I'll try to bring my share
Try to bring more
More than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able
[Verse 5]
Hearts break, hearts mend
Love still hurts
Visions clash, planes crash
Still there's talk of
Saving souls
Still the cold is closing in on us
[Verse 6]
Play on, play on
[Verse 7]
We part the veil on our killer sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take, the less we become
The fortune of one man means less for some
[Verse 8]
World is on fire
It's more than I can handle
Tap into the water
Try to bring my share
Try to bring more
More than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able
[Verse 9]
World is on fire
It's more than I can handle
Tap into the water
Try to bring my share
Try to bring more
More than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able
