Heavy, The - Burn Bright Lyrics






I was walking in the wrong direction
I was walking like a man on a wire
Couldn't keep it for my own protection
Couldn't keep it from the fire
Stayed dead though my heart can't be dead
Stayed dead 'cause my head won't lie
Just waiting for the one salvation
The same one to make it alright

Keep the faith 'cause it's just what you do
I always knew that you'd appear on how

You make this life burn brighter
You make this life burn brighter
You take away my pain
Break me from the chains
To keep us burning brighter

And even when I was building with impatience
Never made it to the mile long mile
Kept busy on the worst locations
And stopped following my ride
'Cause that desk gon' work with the devil
That desk gon' take you for a ride
Be ready for the ramifications
Of being crippled inside

Keep the faith because it's just what you do
I always knew that you'd appear on how

You make this life burn brighter
You make this life burn brighter
You take away my pain
Break me from the chains
To keep us burning brighter

Oh, you make this life burn brighter
You make this life burn brighter
You take away my pain
Break me from the chains
To keep us burning brighter

Oh, you make this life burn brighter
You make, you make this life burn brighter
You take away my pain
Break me out the chains
To keep us burning brighter

Heavy, The Burn Bright Comments
  1. A.... T....

    I just want a 4th Borderlands game. The games awesome. Non are bad cough cough not including cough pre sequel cough cough

  2. D.... S....

    Can't tell if love song... Or Christian song.

  3. u.... c....

    Who the fuck at gearbox thought girl on fire was better than this. Fuck me so dumb.

  4. J.... ....

    Hoping they use this in brightburn 2 if it ever happens

  5. k.... ....

    Especially with how borderlands 3 ending was I think this song woulda synced well with it

  6. S.... S....

    Omfg this would've made a much better song for the ending of BL3, still fits the Lilith theme because of the burning part

    Goddamn it gearbox it fits her character

    S.... S....

    Joe mom is gay

    S.... S....

    @tomasbar who is jomamam

    S.... S....

    whole wheat toast hol up

    S.... S....

    BLOOD FEUUUUD!!!!!!

    S.... S....

    toast  shut the fuk up

  7. P.... E....

    God the piano in this song is fucking exemplary.

  8. T.... ....

    *Spoilers*


    They should have had this at the end of Borderlands 3. Still have "Put it on the Line" at the beginning but having this at the end as well? It would have matched so well and been a bit better than the song they used at the end.

    T.... ....

    I believe trouble the song played at the credits would've been a better fit especially considering cage the elephants's no rest was in the first and trouble references no rest

    T.... ....

    I decided to play borderlands 3 all the way through then play "Burn Bright" at the end, because why not?

    T.... ....

    @Juan B. I love that you say you know who for ppl like me who are too broke to get the game and are waiting till Black Friday 😂 thanks for not spoiling

    T.... ....

    A "bit" better? Lol..

    T.... ....

    @devinacho possibly because they only used Heavy songs for 3 of the games

  9. R.... ....

    Amazing song

  10. K.... L....

    I dont mind what they picked for the credits song of BL3 but i think this would have fit 10x better

    K.... L....

    yeah,it even has "fire" in it.

  11. B.... R....

    Wow this really bops

  12. W.... ....

    Disappointed that this wasn't the ending song for Borderlands 3 :(. Would've fit well given what happened in the ending.

    W.... ....

    Honestly, it would and it should've been. This song would've gone better with the ending than the "girl on fire" song.

  13. T.... R....

    Outstanding Guy's Keep Kick in it!!!

  14. U.... 7....

    Ever since Borderlands 2, I wanted to hear everything by these awesome people

    I was walking in the wrong direction
    I was walking like a man on a wire
    Couldn't keep it for my own protection
    Couldn't keep it from the fire
    Stayed dead though my heart can't be dead
    Stayed dead 'cause my head won't lie
    Just waiting for the one salvation
    The same one to make it alright

    Keep the faith 'cause it's just what you do
    I always knew that you'd appear on how

    You make this life burn brighter
    You make this life burn brighter
    You take away my pain
    Break me from the chains
    To keep us burning brighter

    And even when I was building with impatience
    Never made it to the mile long mile
    Kept busy on the worst locations
    And stopped following my ride
    'Cause that desk gon' work with the devil
    That desk gon' take you for a ride
    Be ready for the ramifications
    Of being crippled inside

    Keep the faith because it's just what you do
    I always knew that you'd appear on how

    You make this life burn brighter
    You make this life burn brighter
    You take away my pain
    Break me from the chains
    To keep us burning brighter

    Oh, you make this life burn brighter
    You make this life burn brighter
    You take away my pain
    Break me from the chains
    To keep us burning brighter

    Oh, you make this life burn brighter

  52. D.... v....

    Thing about The Heavy songs are that they can literally be listened to in any situation and they fit perfectly. Cup of coffee in Starbucks, windows down and driving down the lanes, chilling with a beer in the garden, funerals.... [Can't Play Dead]

    D.... v....

    Starbuck boy and starbuck girl presents... Star Bucks

    D.... v....

    Riding your bike through traffic not giving a fuck ... 😎

  66. L.... H....

    I was walking in the wrong direction
    I was walking like a man on a wire
    Couldn't keep it for my own protection

    You make this life burn brighter
    You make this life burn brighter
    You take away my pain
    Break me from the chains
    To keep us burning brighter

    And even when I was building with impatience
    Never made it to the [?]
    Kept busy on the worst locations
    And stopped following my [?]
    'Cause that desk [?]
    That desk gon' take you for a ride
    Be ready for the ramifications
    Of being crippled and [?]

    Keep the faith because it's just what you do
    I always knew that you'd appear on how

    You make this life burn brighter
    You make this life burn brighter
    You take away my pain
    Break me from the chains
    To keep us burning brighter

    Oh, you make this life burn brighter
    You make this life burn brighter
    You take away my pain
    Break me from the chains
    To keep us burning brighter

    Oh, you make this life burn brighter
    You make, you make this life burn brighter

    @Vann Jarmon ,if they keep up with songs this good then gearbox will have more than enough resources

    V.... E....

    Just imagine the Borderlands 3 intro with this song :0
