World on Fire

[Credit to O’Neal Jones III, from whom I shamelessly stole this image.]

Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You’re not alone in these stories pages
The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I’ll try to hold it in
Yeah I’ll try to hold it in
We part the veil on our killer sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take the less we become
The fortune of one man means less for some
I watch the heavens but I find no calling
Something I can do to change what’s coming
Stay close to me while the sky’s falling
I dont wanna be left alone don’t wanna be alone
The world’s on fire it’s more than I can handle
I’ll tap into the water try and bring my share
Try to bring more, more than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able

This song — Sarah McLachlan – World On Fire (JunkieXL Remix) — and other beautiful music, can be found in AFK (aka ariz0na aka Davin aka my brother)’s set in last month’s Pacific Front Sessions. Look for the download link underneath the “Session 1: AFK” tracklist.
