[00:00.451]The World Is On Fire -Ed Harcourt
[00:01.954]Lyrics by:Ed Harcourt
[00:02.754]Composed by:Ed Harcourt
[00:40.570]There's an empty playground
[00:45.465]With a bird on the swing
[00:50.42]Has an eye for the departed
[00:54.602]She loves the fallen king
[00:59.481]The eyes that shine from the bedding
[01:04.120]The neck that holds their head high
[01:08.807]I think I'm spinning out of my heart
[01:13.601]It's such a fitting way to die
[01:37.633]So much lives in the winter
[01:42.493]It's not as brutal as man
[01:47.600]The hole keeps getting deeper
[01:52.117]The ropes are easier to find
[01:56.838]Well you don't have to say you're sorry
[02:01.695]'Cause we can never turn back
[02:06.553]No time to say farewell farewell
[02:11.462]Before we bid too much blood
[02:16.423]And as the world is on fire
[02:20.840]I hear songs with no words
[02:25.767]Well in the grand scheme of things
[02:30.602]It's just a dot in the universe
[02:35.880]And as the world is on fire
[02:40.228]I am deeply immersed
[02:45.372]And in the grand scheme of things
[02:49.823]It's just a dot in the universe
[03:37.966]We fell asleep under the ice
[03:42.554]They took the past and stayed awake
[03:47.401]You'll find the truth in the past
[03:52.415]And be burned at the stake
[03:57.332]Gagged and bound by the prophets
[04:01.900]And dragged kicking through the streets
[04:06.441]The point and many to the future
[04:11.433]Now we truly are free
[04:16.374]And as the world is on fire
[04:20.906]I hear songs with no words
[04:25.899]Well in the grand scheme of things
[04:30.563]It's just a dot in the universe
[04:35.721]And as the world is on fire
[04:40.217]I am deeply immersed
[04:45.360]In the grand scheme of things
[04:49.739]It's just a dot in the universe
[05:09.242]It's just a dot in the universe
