World on Fire Lyrics by Black Swamp Water

Chapter One

2016

[Verse 1]
And then I say I'll let you go now
That you're in too deep
And it's a change that I can't blow now
Though the road is steep
I wanna scream, I wanna shout
I wanna break your fuckin' shell
I wanna let all my demons out
I wanna raise a fuckin' hell

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know you're there

[Chorus]
When I set the world on fire
When I watch the flames burn higher
When I scream your name, when I place the blame, when you die in shame
Of my unfulfilled desire
World on fire

[Verse 2]
Too many times I've seen you comin'
Crawlin' back to me
Too many times an empty promise
That you couldn't keep
Your filthy lies, will never stop
Your cheating ways, will never mend
But now this is the final drop
And finally, this is the end

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know you're there

[Chorus]
When I set the world on fire
When I watch the flames burn higher
When I scream your name, when I place the blame, when you die in shame
Of my unfulfilled desire
World on fire

[Guitar-Solo]

[Bridge]
Your lying, cheating ways
The number of days
The end is here, so near
It's clear, we're going up in flames
Yeah

[Chorus]
When I set the world on fire
When I watch the flames burn higher
When I scream your name, when I place the blame, when you die in shame
Of my unfulfilled desire
World on fire
World on fire
Set it on...
