Song Description
It was conceptually based on a quote from John Wesley... "I set myself on fire with passion for God and people come just to watch me burn." It was written with the theme of love in mind. The concept that everything that separates us and divides us is really just like paper religion; something with little substance. When we take away all of the judgement and stop focusing on our differences, we are all the same. We all want love and acceptance. If we have a mission of being lights and choosing to love, above all else, we become like a wildfire burning, and people can't help but to come and 'watch us burn'.

Lyrics
When did we become masters of disguises
Where did we go wrong
When did we become kings of compromises
Where has the love gone
Oh, I wanna love that's
More than paper religion
Strike the match and we'll be
A fuel and flame collision
Set me on fire, set me on fire
And I'll be the flame of your desire
And I will burn for you
Just like you burn for me
With a love that's untamed
And a heart that's free
And they will come
They will come
to watch us burn
When did we become keepers of illusions
Where did we go wrong
When did we become rulers of confusion
Where has the love gone
Like a candle in the night
Darkness has no place to hide
Like a raging fire burns bright
We will shine
