To Live and Die by Fire Lyrics

We've burned this city and it's coming down.
Pack your bags, we leave at dawn. We move in cycles.
The story is always the same.
We take who we can with us and then we get out.
Burn. We watch it burn right before our eyes.
There's no turning back now.
Burn. We watch it burn right before our eyes.
There's no turning back now.
Fall to your knees and ask yourself:
"Will we ever make it home?"
The question that remains will be lifted to the heavens.
We've burned this city and it's crumbling.
Grab your things, we're leaving now.
Onto the next one.
I swear it's always the same.
We take who we can with us and leave the rest in shame.
Shame. Shame.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i think this song is about how a lot of people loose faith in god or jesus, when he says "grab your things were leaving now" he means leaving those people and joining the few that do have faith, those who don't are left "in shame"

maybe this song is about us.humans.how we are becoming corrupted and selfish.but some few people stayed true and pure.and they are trying to live a life away from these people.but unforunately they are everywhere..so theses people wil try and live with them.but in the end those corrupted people will leave in shame for what they 've done
