Watch It Burn

Watch it burn

Let it go

Live and learn

Gain control

Burn the ships

Conquer the world

Fire the bridge

With flags unfurled

No turning back

Don't look behind

Just strike the match

For peace of mind

Fan the flame

Fuel the fire

Rule the game

Ignite desire

Feel the heat

Invite the singe

Firm your feet

With your jaw clenched

Embrace the brunt

Release the force

Another hunt

To stay the course

Discharge your fury

Extinguish your fear

Both judge and jury

To be revered

Cuz it's your fight

Do not be swayed

Reclaim your life

You have been weighed

You measured up

No longer wanting

So, raise your cup

New days are coming
