lyrics

Now they paint the town in smoke,
The calling of our bluff
Will of stone -- the will that broke,
Now an industry of dust

Boneyard cries, the sleeping eyes,
Now we look so tired
Gather, flies.
See big smoke rise,
Melting men of iron.

(Chorus)
The top of the world’s on fire
The top of the world we knew
Gutting the old empire,
A fall for the few

The top of the world’s on fire
Worm out the womb
And roll off the mire,
A call into a new

Rats, we ran.
We, ark of ants.
In tear-flooded streets we pray
Karma noose, hanging loose
And this is just the first day

(Chorus)
The top of the world’s on fire
The top of the world we knew
Gutting the old empire
A fall for the few

The top of the world’s on fire
The top of the world’s on fire
Worm out the womb
And roll off the mire,
A call into a new
