Tabula Rasa Lyrics

come, take my hand
don't halt, we're out for trouble
take the stairs up to the rooftop
down there lies the city we once built
look at the streets
they're cramped with dirt and rubble
brownfield sites of our society
the proof of our guilt
so much went wrong
so many times we lost our way
for far too long
we're waiting for a better day
you've got the matches
i'll bring the kerosene
tonight we'll burn this city down
till nothing remains
leave all our vices right behind
don't need 'em no more
and when the rain begins to fall
the flood will wash away all the smoldering ruins
tonight we'll burn this city down
and nothing remains
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e51119-one_strike_left~tabula_rasa_lyrics.html ]
the match hits ground
and fast the fire's spreading
hungry flames enlight the pavement
reflected by the tears in your eyes
i'll take your hands
they're burned and need some vetting
scars will stay as a reminder
we've paid the price
perverted dreams
through pink glasses they're shining bright
but eyed up
somehow it all won't fit in right
let's pull the trigger
we'll start from scratch again
tonight we'll burn this city down
till nothing remains
leave all our vices right behind
don't need 'em no more
and when the rain begins to fall
the flood will wash away all the smoldering ruins
tonight we'll burn this city down
and nothing remains
and when the rain will stop to fall
there will be no regrets looking back
we'll head for a brand new day
