Close your eyes and leave all your fears behind (it's alright) Close your eyes and follow me until the end So if you're hopeless We can pick up the pieces And if you're broken I can carry the pain Are you with me? Watching the flames rise high (yeah) Sing this with me I break down the walls I want it all I won't stop until I burn this to the ground Scream and shout Till the lights go out I won't stop until I burn this to the ground We won't take this You can't break us We won't stop until the world is in our hands I break down the walls I want it all! I won't stop until I burn this to the ground Don't let go We carry our torches high (always burning) Come too far To throw it all away So are you with me? Watching the flames rise high (yeah) Sing this with me I break down the walls I want it all I won't stop until I burn this to the ground Scream and shout Till the lights go out I won't stop until I burn this to the ground We won't take this You can't break us We won't stop until the world is in our hands I break down the walls I want it all I won't stop until I burn this to the ground I like the mess I watch you fall to the ground As the embers rise And the smoke fills the air I break down the walls I want it all I won't stop until I burn this to the ground Scream and shout Till the lights go out I won't stop until I burn this to the ground We won't take this You won't break us We won't stop until the world is in our hands I break down the walls I want it all I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
