Burn
The hunt is underway
Where predator becomes the prey
Sparks arc and dark explodes
Sweating bullets in the open
Oh, they’ve been exposed
In the bright, where the dim don't glow
All the lights rise and the shadows show
Douching solution, feel the fuel flow
Match drop, flash, pop, boom
There you go
Burn
It’s a blazing purge
Burn
Razing all the scourge
Burn
In flames, with tables turned
It’s time the futile learn, breathe the fumes and burn
Flambeaux all aglow
Fulgurate the vulgar foe
Benzene dreams ignite our side
All lighting up the night so that you cannot hide
Stoking the smoke, we bellows blow
Choking every stratum of the status quo
Oh, how low can one man go?
Waking in the red lake below
Now you know
Burn
It’s a blazing purge
Burn
Razing all the scourge
Burn
In flames, with tables turned
It’s time the futile learn, breathe the fumes and
Burn
It’s a blazing purge
Burn
Razing all the scourge
Burn
In flames, with tables turned
It’s time for you to learn, breathe the fumes and burn
Let us count the ways
(1) This has only begun
(2) For we, the true
(3) The time has come
(4) To see this through
(1) This has only begun
(2) A sum is due
(3) So where you run
(4) We will pursue
(1) This has only begun
(2) We’re coming through
(3) Do you hear the roar?
(4) Come on, one more
(1) This has only begun
(2) And there’s nothing you can do
(3) Your chums are done
Now we’re coming for you
Burn
Burn
Now that the worm has turned, it’s time for you to
Burn
It’s a blazing purge
Burn
Razing all the scourge
Burn
In flames, with tables turned
It’s time the futile learn, breathe the fumes and
Time you come to terms, see the view
To whom it may concern, there’s room for you too
Burn
