Really nice, Marc.

What a beautiful interpretation of this song! The lyrics have mutated to question God rather than to call on him. Does anyone know if there are other versions of this song that Marc might have gotten inspiration from lyrically, or it his own take on the lyric?

I don't understand English very well and I can only hear about half of the lyrics, so could someone please write out the lyrics? I want to know the lyrics very much.

“Where will you run, when the world’s on fire? When the world’s on fire, where will you run? Where will you turn, when the world is burning? When the world’s on fire, where will you run? Will you call god’s name, when the world’s on fire? When the world’s on fire, will you call god’s name? Will you call to Heaven, when the world’s on fire? Oh Rock of Ages, cleft for me now. Will a voice commence from a bush that’s burning? Calling out of the whirlwind? When the world is burning, and the flood waters swirling, the fire is burning, will the Rock of Ages cleft for you now? But flood kept swirling, and the bush kept burning. Heaven’s up in the sky. The mystery never ends. And the world’s on fire. I can feel it burning. Oh Rock of Ages cleft for us now.“
