Let It Burn

(album: Dividing Lines - 2022)

Heaven's burning, look up the sky is on fire
Have you seen enough just what have we done here
Did we fail to plan or plan to expire
Day by day we count the hours till it comes

Could we rebuild the world without modern machines
Burning a hole in the sun
This satellite's dying but what does it mean
Escape plan with nowhere to run

Exploitation by civilisation
Has come to haunt us
Mother earth pleads as she falls to her knees
Dust to dust

We don't belong to this world
This world belongs to no one
We got it wrong
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn
We could belong to this world
We have a chance to make it right
All that we've wronged
Or we could just let it burn

If we could start again where would we begin
With city walls dividing lines and prayers few understand
We once had it all but oceans rise and empires fall
If we could start again where would we begin

Pushing the limits of what's meant to be
Has left us a future undone
Amend the escape plan, there's no air to breathe
It's too late, the end has begun

How the hell did we get this far just to get lost again
Did no one listen
Circumstances bring no second chances
Let's just hold on

We don't belong to this world
This world belongs to no one
We got it wrong
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn
We could belong to this world
We have a chance to make it right
All that we've wronged
Or we could just let it burn
