(Verse 1) The sirens scream a hollow tune, the sky is bleeding rust We built our cathedrals to the gods of dust and lust The prophets on the television sell their plastic fear While the cracks run through the pavement, and the end is drawing near (Pre-Chorus) And I’m not praying for a savior, not begging for a sign I’m just lighting every match I own to make the darkness mine (Chorus) So let it burn, let it shatter, let the whole damn world cave in! We’ll be dancing on the ruins with a bottle and a grin No more waiting for tomorrow, there’s no future left to borrow Let the final dawn begin—this is our apocalypse! (Verse 2) The bankers count their zeroes as the oceans start to boil The generals write their memoirs in the blood of loyal soil But I’ve got nothing left to lose, I’ve got nothing left to prove I’m a ghost inside the machine, and I’ve got nothing left to move (Pre-Chorus) So don’t you tell me to be quiet, don’t you tell me to behave I’m the echo of the void that’s gonna dig your shallow grave (Chorus) So let it burn, let it shatter, let the whole damn world cave in! We’ll be dancing on the ruins with a bottle and a grin No more waiting for tomorrow, there’s no future left to borrow Let the final dawn begin—this is our apocalypse! (Bridge) They said the end would come in silence, a whisper, then a sigh But I hear it in the feedback, hear it in the battle cry We are the last rebellion, the static in the wire We are the sparks that laugh at the funeral pyre (Guitar Solo) (Outro) Yeah, let it burn! (let it burn!) Let it shatter! (let it shatter!) We are the thunder and the rain! No gods, no kings, no masters— Just the fire in our veins! This is our apocalypse! (Our apocalypse!) Our apocalypse!
