World on Fire Lyrics

Well they say that we are tragic
And they say we're born to lose
You're the misfit, I'm the sinner,
You're the heathen, I'm the fool
But today you'll be the master or the slave,
It's up to you
Or my beautiful disaster take me anywhere you choose

Don't fight it, ignite it
This much I'm sure

I think it's time to set this World on Fire
I think it's time to push it to the edge
Burn it to the ground and trip the wire
You may never be this good again

It's like a new religion speaking tongues
come see the light
Do not trip on inhibitions that will only waste my time
Let me tempt you with the evils of the flesh and so much more
Like a Babylon redeemer, like a pusher, like a whore

Just try it, you'll like it
I'll give you more

I think it's time to set this world on fire
I think it's time to push it to the edge
Burn it to the ground and trip the wire
You may never be this good again

It's so dark, I can't see
All the truth inside us
All I want is to feel something that's real before the end

Close the door
Turn the key
Do you like
What you see

Kill the lights
Oh come to me
Set it off tonight
Baby just like fire on gasoline

I think it's time to set this world on fire
I think it's time to push it to the edge
I'm so fuckin' bored so trip the wire
You may never be this good again

Just trip the wire
This world's on fire
Just trip the wire
You may never be this good again

World on Fire

The title track of Slash's third album, this was released as the first single from the project. Asked by Blabbermouth.net why he led the album with this song, Slash replied: "I think there's a lot of singles on the record, but it's a good kick-off song. It's up-tempo, aggressive, it's a fun song. I love the whole world on fire, larger-than-life kind of vibe that the title and lyrics have."

Asked about the song's meaning, Slash replied: "To be literal about it, we have the global warming thing. But that's not the catalyst for the title. 'World On Fire' is more of a tongue-in-cheek, positive, fun thing — it has a lot of sexual connotations in the actual song itself. It's a euphemism for going a little bit crazy and pulling out all the stops."

Slash told The Pulse of Radio why he decided to title the album after this tune. "It was a song on the record basically about sex," he said. "But when I started looking for an album title, something about that title stuck out to me. I think it was because a lot of stuff has been going on - the whole thing with the Malaysian flight, and Israel, and all the stuff going on with Russia at the time. So 'World On Fire' all of a sudden had a much broader connotation."

Battleground Lyrics

One more shot across the bow
One more bullet through the heart
You've got me bleeding on the ground
I got you wounded in the dark
Why do we always, take this way too far

Surrender tonight this time save tomorrow
Mama don't you let me down
This broken alliance
Leaves me so hollow
And wondering how

Did the bed that we made
Become our Battleground

When the damage has been done
I know you hurt so don't pretend
Where we're used to making love
Now we're making war instead
Before it's too late
Lay your arms down let me in

Surrender tonight this time save tomorrow
Mama don't you let me down
This broken alliance
Leaves me so hollow
And wondering ho

Did the bed that we made
Become our battleground

Just hold your fire long enough to see
This ain't how it's supposed to be

Once all that we've got is lost
The walls will fall
Please don't let them fall on me

Oh

I wanna lay you down
Surrender all the sorrow, the sorrow
Wanna lay you down
Surrender till it's gone

I wanna lay you down
Surrender till tomorrow, tomorrow
Wanna lay you down
Surrender till it's gone
Yeah

Just surrender till it's gone
Just surrender till it's gone

I don't wanna fight no more
Say, I can feel it all there
I wanna tell right just then and there oh
Say yeah
Say yeah

I don't wanna fight this battle anymore.

Battleground Song Chart

World On Fire is the second studio album featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators. The record was produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette, who also helmed Alter Bridge's Blackbird, AB III and Fortress long players. Myles Kennedy told Blabbermouth why he was pleased to hook up with producer again: "His ability to get the best out of a rock band is pretty special," he said. "He always seems to be aware of what the fans want to hear from an artist."

"He did a great job documenting Slash's tone and sound," Kennedy continued. "I remember the first time I heard the solo for 'Battleground' — I was blown away. Elvis captured the sonic hallmarks that made Slash's playing resonate with me 25 years ago. Elvis is hands-on with every element of the recording process. From the arrangements to the final mix, he is relentless at making sure that the record is everything it should be and more."

The Unholy Lyrics

Evil shadows they are falling
And the misty-eyed are calling
To a god so far
People, troubled times are coming
Still you wonder why I’m running
I will take no part

I know it was you this time
I know it was you this time (evil)
I've seen it with my own two eyes
You lie, you lie

Unholy so vile
How can you justify a lie?
One more sacred alibi
Concealing your crimes
Until the end of time
Oh why
It’s you that should be crucified

Echoes of your true intentions
Well I guess you failed to mention
What was in your heart
Now I say it all so clearly
What you did to them has nearly
Torn us all apart

I know it was you this time
I know it was you this time (evil)
Took them like a sacrifice
You lie, you lie

Unholy so vile
How can you justify a lie?
One more sacred alibi
Concealing your crimes
Until the end of time
Oh why
It’s you that should be crucified

You say, on your knees that you don’t believe now
Don’t question a thing at all
Just receive what you’re meant to see
Now fall
On your knees

Evil shadow they are falling
And the misty-eyed are calling
You will break their heart

Unholy so vile
How can you justify a lie?
One more sacred alibi
Concealing your crimes
Until the end of time
Oh why
It’s you that should be crucified

The broken how they cry
They only gave you heart and mind
How can you justify?
They loved you
Now father don’t deny
You took them like a sacrifice
We finally know the truth about you
Oh yeah

You’re unholy
So vile
How can you justify?
Oh my, how they loved you
Oh yeah
Concealing your crimes
But now they’ll see this time
The blind will deny you

The Unholy Song Chart

In 2010 Slash founded Slasher Films, a horror film production company. The former Guns N' Roses guitarist co-wrote the soundtrack for its first motion picture, Nothing Left to Fear, which was premiered on October 4, 2013. This song was influenced by Slash's time in the film world. He told Artist Direct : "When I write music for movies, a different side of me as a musician comes out. I really liked that side. It's something I never apply to the confines of a rock band who's doing songs at roughly around four minutes long. It's not as a rule, but it just never happened."

"I thought, 'God, I'd just love to sit down and write thematically in the context of the band as opposed to only doing it for cinema and visuals,'" Slash added. "'The Unholy' was the result of that, and it still ended up being seven minutes long. It started out like it does on acoustic."

Slash told Premier Guitar magazine that he used his Goldtop '57 reissue guitar on World On Fire, "for that creamy stuff where it's sustainy smooth where I turn the tone down." That included the guitar solo at the very end of this song.
