burn it all down

Lyrics

Intro
(Instrumental Solo)

Verse 1
Smoke clears, only aftermath remains
Our path’s only proof is the ruin we’ve stained
No apologies, no excuses, no regrets
Just unpaid consequences hanging over our heads
We burned it all down like we swore we would
Every evil, every good, every last piece of what we could

Chorus
The smoke clears, but the damage stays
We got our wish, now the chains start to weigh
Fire blazed the sky, but the dark still won’t break
We lit the world up, now we choke on the stark, cold wake
Choices we can’t take back, no way to retract
Only the black void staring us in the face, no turning back

Verse 2
When the smoke lifts, what’s left to hold?
Scorched earth and spirits, cracked and cold
All the precision in the world can’t fix this mess
We chased elevation, but forgot how to progress
We destroyed the path we were meant to tread
Now all that’s left is the aftermath we bred
We craved transcendence, but crashed into descent
Counting every wasted minute we spent

Verse 3
Smoke fades, but the air still tastes like ash
We bartered our futures for one final flash
Of glory, power, and violent, blinding light
Now we’re trapped in the endless, suffocating night
No redemption coming, no answers to find
Only the echo of the fires we left behind
This is the price of burning it all to the ground
This is the silence when the chaos finally leaves town

Interlude

Spoken Word
I'm sinking.
Not drowning. Sinking. There's a difference. Drowning is panic and struggle and the desperate reaching for the surface. Sinking is acceptance. Sinking is the slow descent into pressure and darkness without resistance.
They keep offering me the rope, but the rope is attached to their hands. And if I grab it, I'm tied to them. If I don't grab it, I'm complicit in my own descent. Either way, I'm sinking.
The water is getting colder. The pressure is getting heavier. And I'm not struggling anymore. I've accepted that the surface is too far away. I've accepted that the only direction is down.
Maybe something waits at the bottom. Maybe there's solid ground. Maybe I'll hit bottom and bounce back up. Or maybe this is just sinking. And maybe that's enough.

Verse 4
Here we go again, stepping straight into the flames
All of us united, all of us deranged
Collective madness, synergistic rage
Scrawling our destruction on history’s page
The more we burn, the brighter the light
But what good’s the glow if it steals our sight?

Verse 5
They said we weren’t ready, said we couldn’t win
Now we burn so hot we can’t keep our skin
Technical precision collides with reckless ambition
Every verse a weapon, every hook’s ammunition
We build an inferno from our shattered dreams
Nothing’s ever what it really seems

Verse 6
Three voices, one fire, cutting through the noise
We ain’t pawns in the system, we ain’t anyone’s toys
This is revolution wrapped up in a beat
Gasoline poured on a street that’s barely on its feet
We’re the match, the fuel, the unquenchable flame
Writing our legacy, and shouldering the shame

Final Section
Burning, burning, burning
Everything keeps turning
Can’t stop the inferno
Can’t put out the glow
We are fire
We are ash
We are everything
And we don’t care what you think

Interlude
(Instrumental Solo)

Spoken Word
What's left when everything's gone? What remains when the fire's consumed it all?
We came in hot, burning everything in our path, thinking destruction was evolution. Thinking we were building something by tearing everything down. But all I see now is ash. All I feel now is hollow.
They say from ashes comes rebirth. But maybe some things deserve to stay dead. Maybe some flames shouldn't be reignited. Maybe the cost of burning it all was too high.
And now I'm standing in the rubble of my own making, wondering if the heat was worth the cold that followed.

PARTYEXTDOOR - Verse 1
Smoke clears and all that's left is aftermath
The destruction is the only evidence of our path
No apologies, no excuses, no regrets
Just consequences that we haven't paid yet
We burned it down like we said we would
Everything that's evil
