[Verse 1]
Where did we go wrong?
Will there be a future to look back from?
It feels like God is long gone
From the creatures who created Him
We could give it all away
This machinery of violence
Still, we gather for a feast of praise
To the devouring mouth of war

[Chorus]
This is a fire, this is a revelation
Don't let it burn out, don't let it fade away
Let's run all the red lights, make no promises
Live like young lovers who've never known heartache

[Verse 2]
Between the dark and dawn
Kings are killin' people in the streets
Their ghosts are left to walk on
Through the nightmares of these bitter men
Golden towers climb towards the sky
A sparklin' palace of sin (Palace of sin)
And still, we act so surprised
That we are so hollow (So hollow)
[Chorus]
This is a fire, this is a revelation
Don't let it burn out, don't let it fade away
Let's run all the red lights, make no promises
Live like young lovers who've never known heartache
Known heartache

[Bridge]
Standin' on your own
While you struggle to survive
Left you standin' all alone
While you struggle to survive

[Chorus]
This is a fire, this is a revelation
Don't let it burn out, don't let it fade away
Fade away
Fade away

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
