Amanda Lee - Ignite

You long to set the world straight
But you will fail if you wait or hesitate
So take aim and pull the trigger back

There was a time when I knew of love and amity
But it faded like the warmth inside a falling tear
Is it a crime to see fault in our humanity?
Why do we create this cycle of hate, breeding more fear?

There’s a pain deep inside of me
And you’re struggling to stay alive
But if we last I know we’ll live to see a brighter tomorrow

You long to set the world straight
But you will fail if you wait or hesitate
So take aim and pull the trigger back
Through every fear that you fight
You’re giving life to a spark of crimson red
It burns bright just waiting to ignite

As our impulses ring aloud, this world’s evolving to the sound of a new beginning

It cries at last, that relentless sound I know so well
Always deafening but I can never pull away
The die is cast and you can’t restart or change the past
But if given only one more chance could you carve the way?

I can feel it waste away inside
But the fire in me hasn’t died
And I would rather sell my soul than watch it all slowly fade away

I’m sick of being afraid
And living by these mistakes that I have made
But I’ll change that with these hands of mine
Believing in something more
I’ll carve a path through that rusted doorway
There’s still more that’s still worth fighting for

Our battle cry is rising higher as raw emotion fuels the fire, piercing through the night sky

The shooting stars fall upon the darkness
Until the skies are pitch black and starless
But when the world is reborn the curtains open wide

You long to set the world straight
But you will fail if you wait or hesitate
So take aim and pull the trigger back
Through every fear that you fight
You’re giving life to a spark of crimson red
It burns bright just waiting to ignite

As our impulses ring aloud, this world’s evolving to the sound of a new beginning.
