The World Is On Fire -Ed Harcourt Lyrics by:Ed Harcourt Composed by:Ed Harcourt There's an empty playground With a bird on the swing Has an eye for the departed She loves the fallen king The eyes that shine from the bedding The neck that holds their head high I think I'm spinning out of my heart It's such a fitting way to die So much lives in the winter It's not as brutal as man The hole keeps getting deeper The ropes are easier to find Well you don't have to say you're sorry 'Cause we can never turn back No time to say farewell farewell Before we bid too much blood And as the world is on fire I hear songs with no words Well in the grand scheme of things It's just a dot in the universe And as the world is on fire I am deeply immersed And in the grand scheme of things It's just a dot in the universe We fell asleep under the ice They took the past and stayed awake You'll find the truth in the past And be burned at the stake Gagged and bound by the prophets And dragged kicking through the streets The point and many to the future Now we truly are free And as the world is on fire I hear songs with no words Well in the grand scheme of things It's just a dot in the universe And as the world is on fire I am deeply immersed In the grand scheme of things It's just a dot in the universe It's just a dot in the universe
