The phone rang
And it all changed in an instant
The whole world came crashing down
With barely a sound
The light turned
And wheels swerved a little too late
The red-and-blue aftermath
Swallowed in black

We are on fire
May be embers by tonight

The first step to last breath
Like pages
Takes ages to fill a tome
And seconds to smoke
The long days are replaced
With short years
And eternity is just one moment to love

We are on fire
Come on
Let’s burn bright tonight

We are on fire
Who but we light up the night?
Come on
Let’s burn bright

Burn bright tonight
