Burn This Midnight Down

Red sky on the broadcast Static cracks the power lines Headlines scream in floodlight We're out of borrowed time You stare at the receipt Another year gone to waste Neon flares on the dashboard, Road ahead smeared in haste They peddle silver futures On a carousel of rust Laugh it off by day, but night Hits like a tidal thrust The swell is rising, can't hold back Thunder's calling our names now We’re gonna burn this midnight down Till the liars feel the ground A hundred thousand feet will pound Shaking empires to the sound We’re gonna turn this year around Every street a war we've found If the roof comes crashing in We’ll roar louder than the crowd! Posters peel on brickwork walls Patience fraying, thread by thread! Circle dates that promise nothing, Change deferred, hope left for dead Mother draws the curtains tight "Storms will pass," she claims to know But thunder pounds the doorstep hard, And it's etching what we owe The storm is here, no turning back It's learning all our fears now We’re gonna burn this midnight down Till the liars feel the ground A hundred thousand feet will pound Shaking empires to the sound We’re gonna turn this year around Every street a war we've found If the roof comes crashing in We’ll roar louder than the crowd Who sets the price on every breath? Who weighs what hope can cost? Why count the debts of ghosts unborn In a world we've already lost? We’re not your numbers, not your lies We’re the quake that cracks the skies We’re the windows shattering wide We’re the fire in the fight Hey! Hey! Rise up now! Shadows chase in the rearview mirror Grasping dreams we never held Billboards lie with chains disguised Freedom forged in stone and weld! Punch the clock at dawn's first light Feed the grind that steals your soul But alleys whisper revolution Time to shatter, take control! Sirens wail the breaking edge Factories choke on silent screams Kings hoard coins while wars ignite Neighbors flee from shattered dreams Tonight we strike the match and run Undeclared, but unafraid Light the fuses, claim the dawn In the chaos we've remade We’re gonna burn this midnight down Till the liars feel the ground A hundred thousand feet will pound Shaking empires to the sound We’re gonna turn this year around Every street a war we've found If the roof comes crashing in We’ll roar louder than the crowd We’re gonna burn this midnight down Burn it! Burn it! Rise and shout! Till the dawn breaks through the fight We own the fire, we own the night Red sky on the broadcast This time, we charge the hill If tomorrow never calls We’ll echo louder still
