[Thrice - The Arsonist lyrics]
There is truth beneath the floorboards
There is hope in brick and stone
They tell me just to shut my mouth
Leave well enough alone
But, I think maybe all that's needed
Is a match and gasoline
Because I don't think that any
One of them believes
That there will be a reckoning
But, I will see this city burn
There are still good shepherds scattered
But they're far between and few
And the sheep's skin that
The wolves all wear's
So thin I see right through
And I think maybe all that's needed
Is some gas and open flame
Because I don't think that any
One of them believes
That fire can erase their names
But, I will see this city burn
I said I will see this city burn
We will burn it down and
Build it again, what was buried in flame
Burn it down and
Build it again from the bricks that remain
I love this city
But I've set and numbered it's days
I love this city
Enough that I'll set it ablaze
I love this city
But I've set and numbered it's days
I love this city
Enough that I'll set it ablaze
There's truth beneath the floorboards
There's hope in brick and stone
But they tell me just to shut my mouth
Leave well enough alone
But, I think that maybe all that's needed
Is some flint and hardened steel
Because I don't think that any one of them
Believes the revolution's real
We will burn it down and
Build it again, what was buried in flame
Burn it down and
Build it again from the bricks that remain
We will burn it down
Build it again, what was buried in flame
Burn it down
Build it again from the bricks that remain
I love this city
But I've set and numbered it's days
I love this city
Enough that I'll set it ablaze
I love this city
But I've set and numbered it's days
I love this city
Enough that I'll set it ablaze
I love this city
But I've set and numbered it's days
I love this city
Enough that I'll set it ablaze
I love this city
But I've set and numbered it's days
I love this city
Enough that I'll set it ablaze
It will burn watch the city burn
And it will burn, it will burn, it will burn
Let it burn
There is hope in brick and stone
They tell me just to shut my mouth
Leave well enough alone
But, I think maybe all that's needed
Is a match and gasoline
Because I don't think that any
One of them believes
That there will be a reckoning
But, I will see this city burn
There are still good shepherds scattered
But they're far between and few
And the sheep's skin that
The wolves all wear's
So thin I see right through
And I think maybe all that's needed
Is some gas and open flame
Because I don't think that any
One of them believes
That fire can erase their names
But, I will see this city burn
I said I will see this city burn
We will burn it down and
Build it again, what was buried in flame
Burn it down and
Build it again from the bricks that remain
I love this city
But I've set and numbered it's days
I love this city
Enough that I'll set it ablaze
I love this city
But I've set and numbered it's days
I love this city
Enough that I'll set it ablaze
There's truth beneath the floorboards
There's hope in brick and stone
But they tell me just to shut my mouth
Leave well enough alone
But, I think that maybe all that's needed
Is some flint and hardened steel
Because I don't think that any one of them
Believes the revolution's real
We will burn it down and
Build it again, what was buried in flame
Burn it down and
Build it again from the bricks that remain
We will burn it down
Build it again, what was buried in flame
Burn it down
Build it again from the bricks that remain
I love this city
But I've set and numbered it's days
I love this city
Enough that I'll set it ablaze
I love this city
But I've set and numbered it's days
I love this city
Enough that I'll set it ablaze
I love this city
But I've set and numbered it's days
I love this city
Enough that I'll set it ablaze
I love this city
But I've set and numbered it's days
I love this city
Enough that I'll set it ablaze
It will burn watch the city burn
And it will burn, it will burn, it will burn
Let it burn
