Underneath the blackest soil

I lay down my warm beating heart

And deep beneath the frozen groundI bury down my deepest thoughts

Because the road I′ve chosen

Is free of fortune and desire

Or the mundane toil and worry

Because the trail I've taken

Leads down into the darkest shores

Where the stars have passed away (passed away)

Tonight

The world is burning

(Tonight)

Black smoke hides the sky

Tonight

Dark clouds rising up, soaring

Shadows engulf the land

Shadows engulf the land

(Engulf the land)

By the side, a forsaken path

I leave behind my old shadow

Into the deep, under these shores

I throw my broken memories

Because the road I′ve chosen

Is free of fortune and desire

Or the mundane toil and worry

And though the trail I've taken

Leads down into the darkest shores

Where the stars have passed away (passed away)

'Cause tonight

The world is burning

(Tonight)

Black smoke hides the sky

Tonight

Dark clouds rising up, soaring

Shadows engulf the land

Shadows engulf the land

For something to change (for something to change)

Something has to give

For something to grow (for something to grow)

Something has to give

I kiss the light goodbye

′Cause tonight

The world is burning

(Tonight)

Black smoke hides the sky

Tonight

Dark clouds rising up, soaring

Shadows engulf the land

Shadows engulf the land
