Black smoke on the avenue Sirens bite the glass Windows rain like shrapnel As the towers buckle fast Boots hit through the ash We march through the flare Hands up to the sky There’s nothing left up there Hear it crack Hear it fall One more pulse Then none at all Red line rising Through the bones The whole wide city Turns to stone Burn it down Burn it down Ashfall city Come unravelled now Burn it down Burn it down We are the roar And the falling sound Steel bends in the heat Bridges split apart Faces in the dust Like embers in the dark Brass screams through the ruins Drums hit like hammers Every wall that stood Now shudders and stammers Hear it crack Hear it fall One more pulse Then none at all Red line rising Through the bones The whole wide city Turns to stone Burn it down Burn it down Ashfall city Come unravelled now Burn it down Burn it down We are the roar And the falling sound Stand in the fire Raise your hands Let the old world break Under blood-red sand No more mercy No more crown Only thunder Dragging down Burn it down Burn it down Ashfall city Come unravelled now Burn it down Burn it down We are the roar And the falling sound Burn it down Burn it down Nothing rises From this broken ground
