Verse 1

Neon bleeding through the rain, I can taste it,

Tower blocks reaching heaven—all vacant

Iron on my shoulder, fire in my head,

Crown made of paper, got the weight of the dead,

Chorus DROP

Green sky, red eyes,

Poison in my lungs while the whole world dies

Steel wings, black heart,

I've been fighting since the fucking world fell apart

Let it burn, let it burn,

Watch the system fall

Post-Chorus

Burn it down!

Burn it down!

Let the whole damn kingdom drown!

Burn it down

Burn it down

La la la la la la..

Verse 2

Saints turn sinners just to earn a name

Soldiers trade their years for a peace they never see.

I've seen mothers turn away from the lives they could have raised,

Seen fathers become ghosts when the bills come due each day.

Everyone's got reasons, everyone's wants someone to blame,

Everyone's a victim till they're passing on the pain.

You can dress it up in glory, put a flag above the dead,

But the truth won't stop bleeding just because the lie was said.

Verse 3

I don't need salvation, I don't need a throne,

No Valkyrie to claim me when I fall alone.

Let Odin keep his wisdom, let the Norns decide,

I'll carve my fate in blood before I kneel and die.

Black feathers on my back, hear the raven cry,

Red hair burning like Surtr as the heavens split the sky.

When Ragnarök comes, I'll be the bastard holding the line

Final Chorus

Green sky, red eyes,

Poison in my lungs while the whole world dies.

Steel wings, black heart,

I've been fighting since the fucking world fell apart.

Let it burn, let it burn,

Watch the system fall.

Post-Chorus

Burn it down

Burn it down

Let the whole damn kingdom drown

Burn it down

Burn it down

La la la la la la

Drop

Verse 4

Ash on my tongue where the old gods used to speak

Every oath I ever swore is rotting at my feet

They built their heaven on the backs of kids like me

So I torch the altar, let the smoke set the skyline free

Wolves at the gate and they answer to my name

I was born in the wreckage, I don't bow to the flame

Lock every door, board every window tight

Nothing you can pray to gonna save you tonight

Chorus DROP

Green sky, red eyes

Poison in my lungs while the whole world dies

Steel wings, black heart

I've been fighting since the fucking world fell apart

Let it burn, let it burn

Watch the system fall

Post-Chorus

Burn it down

Burn it down

Let the whole damn kingdom drown

Burn it down

Burn it down

La la la la la la

Bridge

(Go) Go, go

Tear the whole thing low

(Go) Go, go

Nothing left to owe

(Go) Go, go

Sirens in the snow

(Go) Go, go

Everybody knows

Verse 5

I watched the skyline crumble like a bad dream

Kings in their towers screaming, no one hears a thing

The meek inherit nothing but a shallow grave

So I sharpen every word that I was told to save

Blood on the banner, rust on the crown

I ain't kneeling for a god who let the world drown

March through the ruin with my fists full of wrath

I ain't asking for the future, I'm taking it back

Chorus DROP

Green sky, red eyes

Poison in my lungs while the whole world dies

Steel wings, black heart

I've been fighting since the fucking world fell apart

Let it burn, let it burn

Watch the system fall

Drop

Post-Chorus

Burn it down

Burn it down

Let the whole damn kingdom drown

Burn it down

Burn it down

La la la la la la

Verse 6

Horn blasts, ground cracks, nobody gets spared

I spit lightning at the throne, curse the ones who put me there

Fifteen winters on my back and not a single scar

That I would trade for all the cowards hiding where the giants are

Let the frost take the fields, let the fire eat the stone

I would rather die a wolf than live a dog on a throne

Fists to the sky when the reckoning calls

I was never meant to kneel, I was built to watch it fall

Outro Chorus

Green sky, red eyes

Poison in my lungs while the whole world dies

Steel wings, black heart

I've been fighting since the fucking world fell apart

Let it burn, let it burn

Watch the system fall

Outro

Burn it down

Burn it down

La la la la la la

Burn it down

Burn it down

La la la la la la

La la la la la la

La la la la la la

Verse 1

I woke with the dark still clinging to my skin,

Mouth shut tight, eyes wide, afraid to let the morning in.

I tore out the page where they had written who I'd be,

Then dipped my pen in the wound they left in me.

I fought the shadow waiting at the edge of every night,

I wouldn't let it make me kneel, though it won that fight.

Pre-Chorus

So I held on, let the current pull me through,

Like all those prayers I sent that never made it through.

They took everything that was me, until I couldn't feel my name;

Then silence filled the room and made the noise inside me louder.

Chorus

I'm a scar held up against the light,

A bitten apple, rotten core.

He keeps his teeth in me, left me desecrated

torn,

Verse 2

By dusk I was sinking, barely breathing, barely there;

The sun went down in the west and left me with the night.

The world fell quiet, every window dark—

But something in my chest kept screaming in the dark.

I lit a cigarette and watched it fade in the cold,

Each breath drew up the things I wished I could forget.

I'd carried this cross so long, I couldn't see the end;

Still, morning came, and I was standing there again.

Pre-Chorus

Hope kept telling the same old joke; I couldn't laugh along.

That summer night lay rotten, fruit blackened in the flame.

I couldn't find the start.

I didn't know how this began—

I only knew I wanted it to end.

Chorus

I'm a scar held up against the light,

A bitten apple, rotten core.

He keeps his teeth in me, left me desecrated

torn,

Bridge

Then I chose the noise; let the chaos in.

Shed the darkness made its home in me

I'm a scar held up against the light,

A bitten apple, rotten core.

Final Chorus

I'll make the choice myself.

I'll take this anger, take this pain, and drag it out of me.

Let my scream break open every wall that held me down—

I won't give up. I won't go quietly now.

I'll claim the justice they
