[Verse 1]

I’ll go on, I’ll dig up the hatchet, I’ll murder you all

Bow for my matches, they’ll regain control

What’s said has been said

And I’m coming back for you

Did you lie when you said you were sleeping that night?

My light would die if I knew my suspicions were right

It’s the smoke that kills you, not the fire

At least that’s what I’ve heard, so call the choir

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I need to light this dying town

Let’s burn it down (Whoa!)

[Chorus 1]

The flames crawl up the walls (Whoa!)

You know I like that

Burning through the halls (Whoa!)

For the righteous offender!

[Verse 2]

I’m the bringer of thunder

I tuck you slowly under

Avenging the lights burnt out

Cute to see that you’re trying

Can’t wait for the frying

The fire will rise once more

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And I’d love to see this city burn

If I could be king of the ashes

So let it burn! (Whoa!)

[Chorus 2]

The flames crawl up the walls (Whoa!)

You know I like that

Burning through the halls (Whoa!)

For the righteous offender (Whoa!)

And you can blame me more than most (Whoa!)

‘Cause there’s no shame among ghosts (Whoa!)

As the fire’s caving in

Defying the righteous!

[Outro]

(Whoa!)

The flames crawl up the walls (Whoa!)

You know I like that

Burning through the halls (Whoa!)

For the righteous offender (Whoa!)

And you can blame me more than most (Whoa!)

‘Cause there’s no shame among ghosts (Whoa!)

As the fire’s caving in

Defying the righteous!
