The Official "World On Fire" Lyrics Thread

[hackingislife]

I think "Iris of the storm" ends with, "And show the world that I was right \ all along."

[SHEAKENBAKEN]

I think "Iris of the storm" ends with, "And show the world that I was right \ all along."

I've always heard it as "or wrong" but "all along" makes more sense....Hmm maybe next time I listen to it I'll hear it that way..

"Withered Delilah"

You are the clown for what you are
You had to break out every trick you could pull
But there comes a time where everything must turn off

Back to the start again
Back to the place where you come from

CHORUS
Stuck out of view
My withered delilah
You know it's true that no one cares anymore
Stuck out of view
You had your time
But now your moment is all but gone

Oh it's gone

Lost in a daze
What have you done?
Diggin' a grave to be your own
You're soon to fade
But just too blind to let go
Of what you had
And what you were
Irrelevance hurts but you're not alone

CHORUS

So pack your diamond rings
All your pretty things
And just move along
'Cause there's always somebody else to replace you
When you are gone

<solo>
(When you are gone, Hey yeah)

CHORUS x2

The moment is all but gone
The moment is all but gone
Oh it's gone

[SHEAKENBAKEN]

"Avalon"

Through the miles
I cannot escape
My fate I know will come in time
With my back to the wind
I cheated again with a smile

???? billowing up
The truth I cannot speak
But I made it back one last time

Avalon
It's been way too long
I can see in your eyes
The fire is all but gone

Tales untold
Never to know
Unspeakable until the end
All these mysteries
I'll never speak of again

That my love
I hope you believe
I am home

Avalon
It's been way too long
I can see in your eyes
The fire is all but gone

But please keep holding on
Stay tonight
I need your love
And don't say goodbye
My sweet Avalon

<solo>

Oh Avalon
It's been way too long
I can see in your eyes
The fire is all but gone

My sweet Avalon
It's been way too long
Avalon it's been way too long
Avalon
<solo>

[DonHarry]

You've spoken a lie it ends me
Leaves me so hollow
Won't go now

This isn't correct. I can't make it out well enough to offer an alternative yet but I'm 100% that those bits are wrong. The first highlight has too many words in it.

[Andy92]

Anyone can feel free to chime in on Automatic Overdrive because there's a couple lines I wasn't too sure of in that one.

[Timotheus]

I got most of this one...hardest part is a couple lines in the first verse. Feel free to comment on any of it, even the parts I think I got right.

Automatic Overdrive

My baby's high, she's in overdrive
She's a fiend out on the floor
She's a shot of hate
She's a drop dead paramour

She comes around and she turns it up
Her disease I can't ignore
But the truth I read(?) (Maybe it's unread?)
Like a nervous ease before(?) (Can't tell is it's nervous followed by an "e" word or never followed by an "s" word or neither lol)
I hear: "But to do the red like I've never seen before" The first part is probably wrong, but I think I'm right about the second part

CHORUS:
But it's all right
Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive
Rollin' all night
Never slowing down until she sees the light

She always says that she's sick and tired
Of the pressure and the pain
Bearing down on her
Like a ten ton suicide

How many times I tell her
If she keeps running at this pace
She'll be long run out
Before she can ever reach the light

CHORUS

She's running free
She's running hard
That's all she needs to reach the top

She's so obscene
She's all I've got
My motor queen don't ever stop
Oh I wanna do it again

<guitar solo>
(Oh I wanna do it again)

CHORUS x 4
(1st 2 times - Cause it's all right)
(2nd 2 times - But it's all right)

She ain't slowin' down till she scores tonight

The rest seems right..

[Ubik]

I think it's "puts it to the red like I've never seen before". Also think it's "she's a shot of pain", and "she's running hot", rather than hard.

[Andy92]

I thought it sounded like "never seen before" for the longest time and altered it to fit what I thought I heard in the first part lol. Puts it to the red sounds right though.

I'll listen to the other things later, Ubik. You could be right on those.

[Ubik]

Yeah there definitely is some sort of "s" sound in the "seen before" part, but I'm choosing to ignore it because it doesn't make sense I'm going to call Elvis shenanigans on it.

[Andy92]

This was pretty much my thought process listening to it last night.
