We Burn It Down

Verse 1

Beneath thunder cloud cover, shattered fields

Pale sun blisters my skin, silent, still

Machines march over muddied veins

Ash choking the air, earth’s wounds remain

One word

One warning

None listen

Raging rivers of plastic, bones on blackened soil

Verse 2

I hear distant wails made by vanished beasts

Chemical shadows stretch as hope retreats

Unyielding hands feed the furnace lies

Ashen skies swallow promise, I close my eyes

One truth

One question

Devastation

Crushed under progress, these broken, buried dreams

Chorus

We burn, we burn, ignite the sky

The lost, the last, the world will die

We bring, we bear, the curse inside

Consumed by hunger, greed won’t hide

We burn it down

We burn it down

Post-Chorus

Falling faster

Falling always

Falling faster

Falling always

Verse 3

Torn roots, scorched bones, black rivers run

Blind glare of progress, what have we done

Maybe we, maybe you, maybe all

Failures echo with extinction’s call

One cycle

One ending

Reckoning

Buried in silence, beneath our dust and pride

Chorus

We burn, we burn, ignite the sky

The lost, the last, the world will die

We bring, we bear, the curse inside

Consumed by hunger, greed won’t hide

We burn it down

We burn it down

Bridge

Dead voices chant below charred stone

Consent of silence, none left alone

Bleeding, breaking, branded by flame

Three words: never the same

Chorus

We burn, we burn, ignite the sky

The lost, the last, the world will die

We bring, we bear, the curse inside

Consumed by hunger, greed won’t hide

We burn it down

We burn it down

Post-Chorus

Falling faster

Falling always

Falling faster

Falling always

Outro

Black breath, black earth, bleak future here

Still we, still we, disappear
