World On Fire: Song Lyrics of Final Moments, Loss, and the End of the World

World On Fire by Thorne Empire

By Thorne EmpirePublished about a month ago • 1 min read

The world is burning, smoke covered up the sky,

And all I want to do is smile and watch it die.

A bottle in my hand,

I’ll toast to the things that will never pass...


The world is fading out,

There’s no saving it now.

We can run, but we won’t last,

The fire will burn it all.

This is the end...


One teardrop falls, sinking in the ash,

For all that was, now lost in the flames.

A final sip of wine before it ends,

And the world is no longer ours to mend...


The world is fading out,

There’s no saving it now.

We can run, but we won’t last,

The fire will burn it all.

This is the end...


Below my knees, the ashes rise,

My journey ends when the world dies.

A final sip, and I’ll let go,

For the world is no longer ours to hold...


No more, no more, no more to hold,

The world we knew is turning cold.

One last breath, then we’re gone,

As the ashes whisper, we move on...


Below my knees, the ashes rise,

My journey ends when the world dies.

A final sip, and I’ll let go,

For the world is no longer ours to hold...


This is the end...

This is the end...
