The doors are shut while they're having words

But if they've got to get a point across they must be heard

Just like a schoolboy in the playground

Wanting the last word in before the bell sounds

The words they speak don't speak to me

What they see I can't say I see

Inside their rooms removed from reality

Truth be told; that sounds so revolutionary

The ivory tower burns from the inside out

The structures failing now the whole things coming down

The ivory tower burns from the inside out

They've set it ablaze and it's crashing to the ground

Promises are thrown into the flames

Each done with a twisted smile and no trace of shame

What's left of hope is taken and torched

And we can watch it smoulder as the common people fall

Minds turned criminal against the public

Critical Remarks will leave you clinging to nothing

To bow down would do myself injustice

For leaders that care only for their own interests

Carry intent that's all too biased

The ivory tower burns from the inside out

The structures failing now the whole things coming down

The ivory tower burns from the inside out

They've set it ablaze and it's crashing to the ground

That Face, that smug Face

You wear when you're disclosing

Another matter, but what's the matter with you?

The ivory tower burns from the inside out

The structures failing now the whole things coming down

The ivory tower burns from the inside out

They've set it ablaze and it's crashing to the ground

The ivory tower burns from the inside out

The structures failing now the whole things coming down

The ivory tower burns from the inside out

They've set it ablaze and it's crashing to the ground

The ivory tower burns from the inside out

The structures failing now the whole things coming down

The ivory tower burns from the inside out

They've set it ablaze and it's crashing to the ground
