I’ll go on, I’ll dig up the hatchet, I’ll murder you all
Bow for my matches, they’ll regain control
What’s said has been said
And I'm coming back for you
Did you lie when you said you were sleeping that night?
My light would die if I knew my suspicions were right
It’s the smoke that kills you, not the fire
At least that’s what I’ve heard, so call the choir

I need to light this dying town
Let’s burn it down (whoa!)

The flames crawl up the walls (whoa!)
You know I like that
Burning through the halls (whoa!)
For the righteous offender!

I'm the bringer of thunder
I tuck you slowly under
Avenging the lights burnt out
Cute to see that you’re trying
Can’t wait for the frying
The fire will rise once more

And I’d love to see this city burn
If I could be king of the ashes
So let it burn! (whoa!)

The flames crawl up the walls (whoa!)
You know I like that
Burning through the halls (whoa!)
For the righteous offender (whoa!)
And you can blame me more than most (whoa!)
‘Cause there’s no shame among ghosts (whoa!)
As the fire’s caving in
Defying the righteous!

(Whoa!)
The flames crawl up the walls (whoa!)
You know I like that
Burning through the halls (whoa!)
For the righteous offender (whoa!)
And you can blame me more than most (whoa!)
‘Cause there’s no shame among ghosts (whoa!)
As the fire’s caving in
Defying the righteous!
