Strike a match, light it up.
This world will burn with all you love.
There's no escape
No where to run.
So strike a match, let's have some fun.

Strike a match and look around
hear the sirens start to pound
The blood will paint
these winding streets
Let's strike a match, there's no retreat.

Strike a match and watch it burn
It's really time that they did learn.
To follow blindly
along with you.
Come strike a match this is your cue.

Strike a match, don't look back now
I promised you that they would bow.
the buildings collapse
with societal rule.
You stroke the match, you poor fool.

Strike a match, there's nothing left
This was fun I must confess.
But now it's time,
to take my leave.
There's only ash, you're so naive.
