Can you see like a child? 
Can you see what I want? 
I wanna run through your wicked garden
That's the place to find ya 
'Cause I'm alive So alive now 
I know the darkness blinds you 

Can you see without eyes? 
Can you speak without lies? 
I wanna drink from your naked fountain 
I can drown your sorrows
I'm gonna burn, burn you to life now 
Out of the chains that bind you 

Can you see just like a child? 
Can you see just what I want? 
Can I bring you back to life? 
Are you still alive? 

Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden down 
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden to the ground 

Can you feel pain inside? 
Can you love? 
Can you cry? 

I wanna run through your wicked garden
That's the place to find ya 
'Cause I'm alive so Alive now
I know the darkness blinds you 

Can you see just like a child? 
Can you see just what I want? 
Can I bring you back to life? 
Are you still alive? 

Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden down 
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden to the ground
