BURN IT TO THE GROUND

By the peals of rolling thunder
Birthed in forty days of rain
I was woken from my slumber
And upon the wind I came

Disconnected from my shadow
My arrival was proclaimed
From the threshold of your window
I’ll be calling out your name

CHORUS
Bid these hands
Do my will
Strike the match
Hold it still, and…
Burn it to the ground, burn it to the ground, ah

I have heard the invocations
And I will not be denied
For I am the culmination
Of desires you hid inside

CHORUS
Bid these hands
Hear my voice
Wake from sleep
Make the choice to…
Burn it to the ground, burn it to the ground, ah

BRIDGE
Let the ravens be my witness
Let all beasts before me bow
We are bound together in this
And your master calls you now…
