Underneath the blackest soil I lay down my warm beating heart And deep beneath the frozen ground I 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
