WORLD TO BURN
Igniting Revolution: Steven Mercyhill's Fiery Anthem
Lyrics
Well the moment is upon us
Expressing that a significant moment has arrived.
And a state of urgency exists
Highlighting an urgent situation or crisis.
Got a pocket full of matches
Possessing the means to ignite a fire.
And a closet full of anarchists
Having a collection of individuals who oppose established authority.
Got a smoldering obsession
Intense and lingering preoccupation.
And a pressure rising by degrees
Pressure increasing gradually.
Got a flammable fixation
An intense fixation that is easily flammable.
And incendiary tendencies
Tendencies or inclinations toward starting fires.
Well there's a white-hot glow
A strong, white-hot glow, possibly symbolizing fervor or determination.
From the wrecking machine
Reference to a destructive machine.
Time to light the fuse
The moment to initiate action has come.
On this kerosene dream
A dream involving the use of kerosene, implying destructive aspirations.
Got a flashpoint
A critical moment, possibly irreversible.
Past the point of no return
Beyond the point where a reversal is possible.
Better step aside
A warning to move away because significant actions are imminent.
Cause baby's got a world to burn
The person is determined to bring about widespread destruction.
Got a riot on a rooftop
A chaotic situation, possibly a rebellion, on a high point.
And the enemy is at the gate
An opposing force is ready to attack.
Got a savior on a soapbox
A charismatic figure advocating change, but the change is delayed.
And a resurrection running late
A resurrection or revival is overdue.
Got a mission bound for glory
A mission filled with glory or honor.
And a fire pumping through their veins
Passionate determination flowing through their veins.
As the scavengers have landed
Describing scavengers landing after destruction, preparing to capitalize on the aftermath.
And will feast upon the charred remains
Anticipating the aftermath where scavengers feast on the remains.
Well there's a white-hot glow
Reiteration of the intense, determined glow from the destructive machine.
From the wrecking machine
Repeating the need to ignite the destructive dream.
Time to light the fuse
Reinforcing the urgency to take action.
On this kerosene dream
Emphasizing the need to ignite the kerosene dream.
Got a flashpoint
Another critical point beyond return, possibly a turning point.
Past the point of no return
Repeating the urgency to step aside as destruction is inevitable.
Better step aside
Reiterating that the individual is determined to cause significant destruction.
Cause baby's got a world to burn
Emphasizing the person's commitment to causing a global catastrophe.
Baby's got a world
Repetition of the assertion that the person has the intent to burn the world.
Baby's got a world to burn
Continuation of the theme that the person is determined to bring about widespread destruction.
Baby's got a world
Reiteration of the person's intent to burn the world.
Baby's got a world to burn
Continuing to emphasize the determination to cause widespread destruction.
Baby's got a world
Repeating the assertion of the person's intent to burn the world.
Baby's got a world to burn
Stressing the determination to bring about a global catastrophe.
Baby's got a world
Repetition of the person's commitment to burning the world.
Baby's got a world to burn
Final repetition emphasizing the person's determination to cause widespread destruction.
