I saw this skirmish about half past the hour, but I love a word list (and this one felt particularly usable) so couldn't pass it up. Wrote the chorus first to get all the words in, and then the verses happened from there. I had a pretty strong sense of rhythm in my head as I was writing the lyrics, and the chorus melody came at almost the same time. (The words from the list are bolded in the lyrics below.)

The world might be ending We play on as we feel The ship going down around us There is no knowing What might happen next Except sticking around to find out

Hold still, try not to fall over the edge Will you carry some light in your pocket Until the sun returns Shooting stars break into a run as you watch Take a chance on a wish, you can't stop it Blow on the embers that burn

There isn't a reason For chaos and suffering Sometimes things just happen despite Our best efforts Or due to our failings The best we can do is just try

Hold still, try not to fall over the edge Will you carry some light in your pocket Until the sun returns Shooting stars break into a run as you watch Take a chance on a wish, you can't stop it Blow on the embers that burn

Hold still, try not to fall over the edge Will you carry some light in your pocket Until the sun returns Shooting stars break into a run as you watch Take a chance on a wish, you can't stop it Blow on the embers that burn
