Lyrics

Fire on the mountain
Through the freeze
Save yourself
there's evil
In the garden
But you don't see it
I can tell

How do you sleep while
the city's burning
Where do you go when you can't go home
How do you drink when
there's blood in the water
Where do you turn when
the world moves on
When the world moves on, on

Fire on the mountain
You can feel it
Against your skin
you're standing
By the river
Let the river
Take you in

How do you sleep while
the city's burning
Where do you go when you can't go home
How do you drink when
there's blood in the water
Where do you turn when
the world moves on
When the world moves on
When the world moves on, on Yeah

Hell, I see smoke out on the horizon
Mama, get your baby, take
her down to the water
I view the wind like a promise broken
I see the future but
it's getting farther

Hell, I see smoke out on the horizon
Mama, get your baby, take
her down to the water
I view the wind like a promise broken
I see the future but
it's getting farther

How do you sleep while
the city's burning
Where do you go when you can't go home
How do you drink when
there's blood in the water
Where do you turn when
the world moves on
When the world moves on, hey

When the world moves on
When the world moves on
When the world moves on
Yeah, oh Yeah, oh yeah world moves on
That world moves on, yeah

that´s what I call music

[cillaheartsyellow]

this is the perfect theme song for the hunger games!!!

[TheSkiesunlimited]

@lovelifexoxoable i think its about making the right choices when the options are the worst or perhaps about how to act during worst circumstances

[connordoc3]

I agree, this should be for the Hunger Games.

@lovelifexoxoable When I hear it I think about the Native Americans who have been persecuted through the centuries. They have had their homes taken from them and their families and cultures destroyed. Could you imagine watching from down on a prairie as an entire race is slaughtered before your very eyes, their homes burning on the mountain tops and the rivers running red with their blood? To me this song speaks volumes about the lack of humanity and caring we have shown those people.
