Burn it Down Lyrics by The Killigans

Dance on Your Grave

0

Come take a walk with me
Cross the land of opportunity
Where freedom was
A word we used to shout

To express an ideal forged upon
Hypocrisy then struggle
Then sacrifice
And foaming from the mouth

A rabid testimony never failed
To drum a call to action
Time to fix it over common sense
And decency
Is burning ancient books too weak?
Can't point and laugh in trial, they will cry for me
Cry, cry for a mention
But don't make it known, your cover may be blown

And when the fires have burned our city to the ground
Therе in the ashes what was lost
Is just a faded mеmory
And when the rains have washed away
All of the destruction
We can rebuild and burn it down all over again

Don't bite the hand that feeds
When the other holds a gun
Behavior of poor show
No threat behind demands

Don't lay our demons down to rest tonight
We built it, burn by candlelight
The progress, lead our own by our hand
To remember those colored pastures, got an attitude far away
Keep your eyes upon the prize
Abandon passion to the lies

And when the fires have burned our city to the ground
There in the ashes what was lost
Is just a faded memory
And when the rains have washed away
All of the destruction
We can rebuild and burn it down all over again

All over again

And when the fires have burned our cities to the ground
There in the ashes what was lost
Is just a faded memory
And when the rains have washed away
The destruction we have done
We can rebuild and burn it down all over again

We can rebuild and burn it down all over again

All over again
