Set the World Aflame

The harsh, frosty winds of Time cascade upon a shadowed land

Every tree withered leafless, every candle blown cold

Dark forces leave bounties of sin in their wake, though no one to reprimand

All courts have been shut down, after all, there's no justice to uphold

Faceless mobs, blanker than the darkened sky

A wave of grey crashing against the shore of apathy

Dull and forgetful, the well of hope has run dry

Roaming without chains yet never free

The light shines upon us but instead, we turn away

Casting shadows of indifference over a faded dream

Living lifeless, passion a dying song, until the next day

Secretly waiting for a time when the sun will gleam

However

We must no longer sit and wait for lightning to strike

Reach for a match and set off a spark into the night

Give birth to the flame that will reclaim our souls

And devour the greed and this world they control

Set the world aflame, let it rekindle our frozen hearts

Set the world aflame, let it revive our fallen hopes

Set the world aflame, let it consume our darkened past

Set the world aflame, let it burn a path to a brighter future for all
