Built to Burn
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
1 - Through the streets of illusion
2 - Through the streets of hell
3 - I know I am fading
4 - But I've got your soul to sell
5 - I feel like jack the ripper
6 - I'm like his screaming whore
7 - Twist the blade again
8 - We've evened up the score
…And I
I want to walk the streets
…In hell
I want to cross the line
…In hell
I want to feel the pressure…
I CAN LIVE FOREVER
…And I
I want to drag my mind
…Through hell
I want to drag my soul
…Through hell
I want to scream with the harpies
I WAS BUILT TO BURN
1 - Through the streets of heaven
2 - Through the streets of hell
3 - I hear the angels crying
4 - I hear the doomsday bell
5 - I am walking towards the deadlights
6 - I'm walking from the strain
7 - But with rest comes death
8 - I'm fighting back again…
…And I
I want to walk the streets
…In hell
I want to cross the line
…In hell
I want to feel the pressure…
I CAN LIVE FOREVER
…And I
I want to drag my mind
…Through hell
I want to drag my soul
…Through hell
I want to scream with the banshees
I WAS BUILT TO BURN
…BURN…
