Life on Fire

Sirens in the distance skies are burning red People running frantic nothing left unsaid Shadows lick the pavement sparks ignite the night Heartbeat racing faster fight or flight tonight Buildings crumble slowly chaos in the air Whispers of survival echo with a prayer Ashes turn from memories fading in the haze Night consumed by fire houses set ablaze Flames are rising higher nothing left to lose Dancing with the embers we defy the news In the heart of danger finding strength with you With the world on fire we will make it through Heroes in the making courage in their eyes Facing down the inferno beneath the smoky skies Mother holds her child hope within their grasp Together they are stronger when fire comes to pass Light the way with courage we can find the dawn Through the smoke and chaos we will carry on Rising from the ashes we take in the view The Sun light is faded but our mission will be true Flames are rising higher nothing left to lose Dancing with the embers we defy the news In the heart of danger finding strength with you With the world on fire we will make it through
