Songs of Longing - Burn It Down

Didn’t you hear the stories that your forefathers’ forefathers whispered

Don’t you know of the heroes that you’re helping to create

Don’t you ever wonder why we want to be, want to be with her

Don’t you know the fears that you’re not helping to abate

Burn it down oh burn it down oh burn the city to the ground

Burn it down and plant the seeds, the seeds that freedom’s water feeds

Burn it down oh burn it down oh burn their empire to the ground

Burn it down and sing the song of death and solidarity

Don’t you know the people in the tragedy that you are writing

Don’t you know you’re writing in the world and not on the page

Don’t you know that the desperate are all seeds that you are burying

Don’t you know who’s read these words of pain and of love and rage

Burn it down oh burn it down oh burn the city to the ground

Burn it down and plant the seeds, the seeds that freedom’s water feeds

Burn it down oh burn it down oh burn their empire to the ground

Burn it down and sing the song of death and solidarity

The ghosts that haunt the empire

The empire you represent

They’ll set your halo on fire

You have become what they resent

———

Burn it down oh burn it down oh burn the city to the ground

Burn it down and plant the seeds, the seeds that freedom’s water feeds

Burn it down oh burn it down oh burn their empire to the ground

Burn it down and sing the song of death and solidarity
