Lyrics
[Verse]
The ceiling is leaking and the walls are too thin
They keep all the wealth while we rot in our skin
I got the weight of the world in my pocket
A ghost in the system, a hand on the socket
Tired of the waiting, tired of the prayer
I smell the gas and the smoke in the air
They built a palace on top of our graves
Now we’re the tidal wave, no longer slaves
[Chorus]
Burn it down to the ground
Tear the crown from the head
Silence every single sound
Until the old world is dead
Burn it down to the ground
No more lies, no more dread
We are coming for you now
Until the old world is dead
[Verse]
Check the perimeter, watch for the light
We moving in silence, we owning the night
They thought they were gods in a marble tower
But they didn’t count on the loss of their power
My brother is hungry, my sister is cold
The stories of justice are stories they sold
Strap up the boots, put the mask on the face
We’re scrubbing the stains of this whole human race
[Chorus]
Burn it down to the ground
Tear the crown from the head
Silence every single sound
Until the old world is dead
Burn it down to the ground
No more lies, no more dread
We are coming for you now
Until the old world is dead
[Bridge]
The gates are crashing open
The heavy locks are broken
Every word we ever spoken
Is a fire in the dark
The gates are crashing open
The heavy locks are broken
Every word we ever spoken
Is a fire in the dark
[Chorus]
Burn it down to the ground
Tear the crown from the head
Silence every single sound
Until the old world is dead
Burn it down to the ground
No more lies, no more dread
We are coming for you now
Until the old world is dead
[Outro]
