Lyrics World On A Pyre - I Walk The Line

World On A Pyre

I saw her pass me by, but she didn’t cast a shadow
Did I miss something or am I getting paranoid?
This sure looks like a funeral, a neverending feast
The pyre is getting bigger in front of me
She’s in a trance amongst them
Unaware of being helpless
Upon the coming of the vultures
But you can feel it in the air
The end is coming near
They keep devouring on and on
Until there’s nothing left
They’ll end up starving
With their pride of being invincible
Spontaneous behaviour’s all been synchronized
We’re being fed by the hand of fear
We are content with the state of our decline
We’re just drops in a sea of oblivion
After the smoke is clearing
Will we be left with nothing?
Will there be a phoenix rising
From the ashes now?
I guess it’s up to you
They keep devouring on and on
Until there’s nothing left
They’ll end up starving
With their pride of being invincible
