Ashes vs. Flood

[Verse 1] Blackened match in my teeth Gas can swinging like a censer I stencil threats on the overpass “Let it all burn Burn faster” Trail of fumes in a crooked S Laughing at the siren’s echo Dreaming of a sky all smoke Watching every skyline tremble [Chorus] Set the world on fire I scream it (Watch it fall, watch it fall) Flames for a crown I can feel it I want it all Want it all But the flood keeps coming Red and gold Every spark I strike They choke and hold Ashes vs. flood in the clash of light I light the fuse They hold the line [Verse 2] I torch a car in a dead-end lot “Come and catch me if you’re heroes” Boot prints painted in dripping fuel Halo made of molten windows Through the roar I hear their names Barked in codes over cracked radios Silhouettes in heavy gear Running straight into my inferno [Chorus] Set the world on fire I scream it (Watch it fall, watch it fall) Flames for a crown I can feel it I want it all Want it all But the flood keeps coming Red and gold Every spark I strike They choke and hold Ashes vs. flood in the clash of light I light the fuse They hold the line [Bridge] [Tempo shift — slower Crushing] I paint the night in gasoline They answer back with a shining stream I raise a kingdom made of cinders They march through hell They do not wither Face to mask in the searing glare They stare me down through the poison air Hand on my shoulder “It ends right here” Their courage louder than my fear [Chorus] Set the world on fire I screamed it (Watch it fall, watch it fall) But your flood kept coming I breathed it You saved it all Saved it all I was crowned in smoke You broke that hold Turned my blazing pride to cooling coal Ashes vs. flood And the flood survived I lit the fuse You held the line
