lyrics

Down in the valley of the devil
Runs a river like a silver thread
There is a man in the water
Laying scripture on his daughter
But she doesn’t mind cause she’s long since dead

Breathe in the air tonight
Scream for a world on fire

Under the moon sits a beggar with some dust
And a rusted spoon
A burning feather gives him tether to the end
That is coming soon

Breathe in the air tonight
Scream for a world on fire

What do you want
Just give me everything that keeps me terrified
What do you need
All the pain it brings is justified
What will you do
I’ll do anything
But in the meantime
Burn it down

Out in the shadows with the sinners
Kneels a woman with a cross to bear
She just pretends that the end is never coming
But she’s first in line and it’s almost there

Breathe in the air tonight
Scream for a world on fire

What do you want
Just give me everything that keeps me terrified
What do you need
All the pain it brings is justified
What will you do
I’ll do anything
But in the meantime
Burn it down
