[Verse 1]
The sky split open red
Sirens drowned in ash
You took my hand and laughed
Like the end was just a flash
We watched the towers lean
We watched the good lie dead
Two hearts in a falling world
And nothing left unsaid
[Pre-Chorus]
So if the floor turns grave
If the night won’t stay
We’ll make these last minutes
Hard to wash away
[Chorus]
Burn it down, burn it down
We’re still standing now
Burn it down, burn it down
Till the whole thing falls out
We took back the hour
We took back the pain
Blood on the stone
And our names in the flame
[Verse 2]
The ones who fed the fear
Went hiding in the dark
You and I kicked in the door
And broke their little world apart
No mercy in our hands
No prayer left to save
Just a final kind of justice
For the souls they tried to take
[Pre-Chorus]
So let the furnace rise
Let the heavens crack
If we’re the last two here
We are not looking back
[Chorus]
Burn it down, burn it down
We’re still standing now
Burn it down, burn it down
Till the whole thing falls out
We took back the hour
We took back the pain
Blood on the stone
And our names in the flame
[Bridge]
When the smoke got low
And the screaming dimmed
You smiled like a saint
With the devil in your grin
One last breath
One last spark
Then we kissed the world goodbye
In the breaking dark
[Final Chorus]
Burn it down, burn it down
We’re still standing now
Burn it down, burn it down
Till the whole thing falls out
We took back the hour
We took back the pain
Blood on the stone
And our names in the flame
Blood on the stone
We were all that remained
