Burn It Down

V1:
Our regret sets in, we look around at what we’ve done:
Sacrificed the Queen of Hearts to the King of Destruction,
& we all scream!

Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
How we gonna start a fire?
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
How we gonna climb up higher?
When the fuel is gone, and the ladder's lost its rungs,
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
How we gonna start a fire?

When the truth sets in, & we see what we’ve become
we drop down to our knees, & pray for redemption,
& we all scream!

Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
How we gonna start a fire?
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
How we gonna climb up higher?
When the fuel is gone, and the ladder's lost its rungs,
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
How we gonna start a fire?

When the smoke has cleared & we rise from the ashes
& we rise from the ashes
& we rise from the ashes
& we rise
& we rise
& we rise from the ashes

Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
How we gonna start a fire?
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
How we gonna climb up higher?
When the fuel is gone, and the ladder's lost its rungs,
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
How we gonna start a fire?

(Have we turned our back on God?
Higher power’s in the green -
It's gotten even deeper,
Narcissism over greed

They shoot for the kill,
We destroy and rebuild,
But this could be a gift
If we don’t drive it off the cliff

The pathway out of hell
Staying calm in overwhelm,
Enough with the pulls -
Now we see through all the smoke

Nothing can be taken
That we don’t give willingly,
It ain’t over 'til it’s over -
There’s no end to you and me!)

Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
How we gonna start a fire?
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
How we gonna climb up higher?
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
How we gonna start a fire?
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
How we gonna climb up higher?
When the fuel is gone, and the ladder's lost its rungs?
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
How we gonna start a fire?
