lyrics

That's right, we're burning all our bridges tonight
And if you think that we won't, well you just try and stop us
We know this city's just waiting to fall
Get out, leave all this deception behind
Don't try to save anyone, it's crashing down behind you
This time, it's you and every man for himself
And we won't even turn
Just to watch it burn
To the ground
That's right, we're running just as fast as we can.

What kind of place is this that we call our home?
Surrounded by the people and all alone?
They call it hope, They call it peace
They call it safe for you and for me
But we all know
It's in the ground and all that grows
Something you can't see
The water and the air you breathe
And a million years
Won't wash away the worst of our fears
It's a fatal disease
It's made by man without remedies

That's right, we're burning all our bridges tonight
And if you think that we won't, well you just try and stop us
We know this city's just waiting to fall
Get out, leave all this deception behind
Don't try to save anyone, it's crashing down behind you
This time, it's you and every man for himself

Who are these people now that control the world?
We gave them power when we bought what they sold
There's one way out
No compromise
To separate your truth from their lies
So let it burn

Someday the smoke will all clear and
The wind will spread ashes
Over the hills as they look down on a
City blackened by flames that we
Started ourselves just to see it all end

And we won't even turn just to watch it burn
And we won't even turn just to watch it burn
And we won't even turn just to watch it burn
And we won't even turn just to watch it burn
And we won't even turn just to watch it burn
And we won't even turn just to watch it burn
