Let's watch it burn
Let's watch it burn
Let's watch the city burn the world!
Let's watch the city burn!
From the skylines on top of the world!
Till there's nothing left of her!
Let's watch the city burn the world!
My body doused in ash
With two empty cans of gas
The only evidence they have
Is a police sketch of my mask
And it's hard at times to ask
If you could save my heart for last
And it's hard to face the facts
When the darkness fades to black
It's not just make-believe
When they make me take a seat
And they put amphetamines
In the air and make me breathe
So come on and grab your children
Look out for burning buildings
And villains who pillage
They're killing by the millions
And billions of people die
For a lost cause
So now I pray to my nation
Destroyed under God
(It's the end of the world!)
All my battles have been won
But the war has just begun!
Let's watch the city burn!
From the skylines on top of the world!
Till there's nothing left of her!
Let's watch the city burn the world!
The city looks so pretty
Do you wanna burn it with me?
Till the skies bleeds ashes
And this fucking skyline crashes
They catch us with matches
I ignite the flame
And all the hopes of a youth
Deemed fucking insane
They say: Take the pill, in God we trust
Go and kill, God loves us
As in life, as in death
Breathing till there is no breath
I will not die in the night
But in the light of the sun
With the ashes
Of this world in my lungs
But who am I to say
Let's all just run away?
Grab your saints and pray!
We're gonna burn this world today!
(It's the end of the world!)
As in heaven as on earth
We've been dead since our birth!
Let's watch the city burn!
From the skylines on top of the world!
Till there's nothing left of her!
Let's watch the city burn the world!
(Let's watch it burn! Let's watch it burn!)
The city looks so pretty!
Do you wanna burn it with me?
The city looks so pretty!
Do you wanna burn it with me?
The city looks so pretty!
Do you wanna burn it with me?
The city looks so pretty!
Do you wanna burn it with me?
We'll use those trees as torches!
(Do you wanna burn it with me?)
We'll flood the streets with corpses!
(Do you wanna burn it with me?)
We'll watch the city fucking bleed!
(Do you wanna burn it with me?)
And bring the world to its knees!
(Do you wanna burn it with me?)
Let's watch the city burn!
From the skylines on top of the world!
Till there's nothing left of her!
Let's watch the city burn the world!
Let's watch the city burn!
From the skylines on top of the world!
Till there's nothing left of her!
Let's watch the city burn the world!
Let's watch it burn!
Let's watch it burn!
Let's watch the city burn the world!
