The prequel to my song Any Such Thing is of the same subject
matter. Although the lyrics could be passed off as sarcasm Let It Burn was born
from the contemplation of realistic and practical ways of creating positive
change. Sometimes a step backwards is required in
order to move forward…
Let It Burn
Spark and ignite
Let flicker and play
Flame burning bright
Before dying away
The ashes incite
And the embers decay
The fade of the light
Brings end to the day
Welcoming flame
Invite evolution
To bring about change
End the confusion
And set all ablaze
Erase the pollution
From out of the haze
Give birth to solution
From first a single flame
When left allowed to glow
Will build and feed and gain
To multiply and grow
Let it all burn down
Breathe new life on everything
Raze it to the ground
Yeah… let the fire burn
Let it all burn down
Yeah… let the fire burn
