Voices in the distance, beautiful
Somebody’s calling beyond control
Have you ever felt desperation?
This whole world is filled with loss
We will regret it when we sleep
Promises never meant to keep
When all of the shadows lead
As a good man’s hiding a dream

Do they know that the world’s on fire?

Time has a price we can’t afford
An empty glass and an open door
You get what you paid for in sweat
And a voice says please don’t forget

Do they know that the world’s on fire?
Do they know that the time is now?
Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up
Let your voice speak out
Do they know that it’s time?

Caught in a maze you can’t escape
The flickering lights, and the colored lens
The walls that we build just close in
Until we decide to begin

Are we distracted by the sun?
The gleaming jewels, and the beating drums
Is it going the distance we fear?
Have you heard that we’re already here?

Do they know that the world’s on fire?
Do they know that the time is now?
Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up
Let your voice speak out

Do they know that the world’s on fire?
Do they know that the time is here?
Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up
Let your voice be clear
Do they know that it’s time?

Some will say we’ve gone too far
We’re on the edge and in too deep
Some will say we’re too far gone
You can’t erase the tragedy

Do they know that the world’s on fire?
Do they know that the time is here?
Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up
Yeah, you gotta stand up

Do they know that the world’s on fire?
Do they know that the time is here?
Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up
Let your voice be clear
Do they know that it’s time?

Anberlin - Dismantle. Repair. 

one last glance from a taxi cab
images scar my mind
for weeks have felt like years
since your full attention was all mine
the night was young and so were we
talked about life, God, death, and your family
didn’t want any promises,
just my undivided honesty, and you said

hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
dismantle me down
repair
you dismantle me
you dismantle me

AFI - Love Like Winter 

warn your warmth to turn away,
here it’s December,
everyday

it’s in the blood
it’s in the blood
I met my love before I was born
he wanted love,
I taste of blood.
he bit my lip and drank my war,
from years before

Within Temptation - Utopia 

The burning desire to live and roam free
It shines in the dark
And it grows within me

You’re holding my hand but you don’t understand
So where I am going, you won’t be in the end

I’m dreaming in colors
Of getting the chance
Dreaming of trying the perfect romance

The search of the door, to open your mind
In search of the cure of mankind
Help us, we’re drowning
So closed up inside

Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia?
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia?
And will the lights die down, telling us who we are?

I’m searching for answers, not given for free
You’re hurting inside, is there life within me?

You’re holding my hand but you don’t understand
So you’re taking the road all alone in the end

I’m dreaming in colors, no boundaries are there
I’m dreaming the dream, and I’ll sing to share
In search of the door, to open your mind
In search of the cure of mankind
Help us, we’re drowning
So closed up inside

Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain, down on utopia?
And when the lights die down, telling us who we are

Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia
Why does it have to kill the idea of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia
And when the lights die down, telling us who we are

Why does it rain?
