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
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
