Burn It Down

Verse 1

Stole my name

Broke my back with your heavy laws

Locked the gate

Told me keep quiet inside those four thin walls

Sick of playing nice

Tired of the weight on my weary ribs

Chorus

Watch the towers tumble down

Watch the empire turn to sand

Burn it all to the hollow ground

No more gold inside your hand

I am taking back the crown

I am taking back the land

Post-Chorus

Burn it down

Burn it down

Oh oh oh

Take the crown

Verse 2

Cut the ties

Silk threads choking every single breath

Black ink dried

Sign the paper seal the quiet death

Now I own the storm

Now I own the lightning in the rain

Tearing up the norm

Giving back every ounce of bitter pain

Chorus

Watch the towers tumble down

Watch the empire turn to sand

Burn it all to the hollow ground

No more gold inside your hand

I am taking back the crown

I am taking back the land

Post-Chorus

Burn it down

Burn it down

Oh oh oh

Take the crown

Bridge

They said I should wait

They said I should bow

They said I should pray

I will not wait

I will not bow

I will not pray

The era ends today

Chorus

Watch the towers tumble down

Watch the empire turn to sand

Burn it all to the hollow ground

No more gold inside your hand

I am taking back the crown

I am taking back the land

Post-Chorus

Burn it down

Burn it down

Oh oh oh

Take the crown

Outro

Towers tumble

Watch them tumble

Ashes in the wind

It ends now
