Temple on Fire Lyrics by Simon Lachman

Up/Down

2024

[Verse 1]
In this world, darkness is gathered
Summer flames light the way
Son lost to his father
In search for help
In the park, people are praying
For rain to come down
Waiting until God replies
And stops the fire burning bright
[Chorus]
And the temple is on fire
Its towers come down to the ground
The wave of bricks is storming through streets
With crosses of gold melting behind
[Verse 2]
The air makes it so hard to breathe
Its density is so unreal
And through this air, nothing can be seen
Apocalypse is coming now
When all that's left of this church
Forms into burning river
Floods homes and people
Whole town burns down
[Chorus]
And the temple is on fire
Its towers come down to the ground
The wave of bricks is storming through streets
With crosses of gold melting behind
And the temple is on fire
Its towers come down to the ground
The wave of bricks is storming through streets
With crosses of gold melting behind
[Bridge]
And now it's all over the fire stops
Leaving the bodies burn on the ground
And only this little child with blood on his hands
It looks on its parents it had tried to save
Child gets down on his knees
Crying and looking on the rain that falls
God had abandoned us long time ago
Long time ago, oh
[Chorus]
And the temple is on fire
Its towers come down to the ground
The wave of bricks is storming through streets
With crosses of gold melting behind
And the temple is on fire
Its towers come down to the ground
The wave of bricks is storming through streets
Crosses of gold melting behind
[Outro]
Oh, they're melting behind
And the temple is on fire
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
