lyrics
Barns burnt down - House on fire
The flames are reaching like a funeral pyre
I run inside - The blaze increased
My soul is screaming - But i feel relief
Let it burn down, let it, let it burn down
Let it burn down to the ground
Let it burn down, let it, let it burn down
Let it burn down so we can rise
Yeah! It's never too late - Let it Burn Down
When I was young - I was always afraid
Did I say the right thing - Did I mess up the game
But the game is rigged - The enslaved break free
Now the phoenix rising - We can finally see
Let it burn down, let it, let it burn down...
All the hate, the lies, the shame- Let it burn so we can rise
All the scars resurrect the pain, so we can fly
The barn's burnt down - I can see the moon
I can feel the wind - See the flowers bloom
The barn's burnt down - I can see the moon
When the walls burn down - Back to mother's womb
I can see the moon - I can see the moon
