Thunder cracks way up in the sky
The wild dog's back, he's heading for the night
Midas touch, turns pyre into gold
Let no one know his blood is running cold
Fighting like an animal
He cries in the dark
Comes out of the dust
He's gotta light it up
Set fire to the rain
Then burn it again
He's gonna light it up
He knows there's only one way to go...
The whole way down
Back on trial, you keep up the disguise
Against all odds, you make it through the night
The curtain calls, you're blinded by the light
It haunts us all until the day we die
Running like an animal
And you howl like the wolf
You don't know how to stop
You gotta light it up
Set fire to the rain
Then burn it again
You gotta light it up
There's only one way to go...
The whole way down
Light it up
Set fire to the rain
Do it again
He just can't seem to get enough
Cause time won't heal, it just kills the pain
He's gotta light it up
Set fire to the rain
Then burn it again
You gotta light it up
Don't ever stop, don't let it go
Light it up
Let everyone know
Anything goes
Light it up
You know there's only one way to go...
The whole way down
