Let It Burn
Cold Kingdom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got a mind all of your own
So break these walls down
We've all been waiting for the show
Gotta stay alive
Gotta stay alive
To find the way out
You're not gonna find it
Until you've let it all burn down
If only you'd tried to make it right
You're not gonna make it
Not gonna make it alive
Where's your pride now?
It's all been said and done before
Erase your self-doubt
Why don't you get up off the floor
You're running in circles
To find the way out
You're not gonna find it
Until you've let it all burn down
If only you'd tried to make it right
You're not gonna make it
Not gonna make it alive
Gotta stay alive
You've got to stay
And survive
You're running in circles
To find the way out
You're not gonna find it
Until you've let it all burn down
If only you'd tried to make it right
You're not gonna make it
Not gonna make it alive

It's pretty few & far between you hear a singer with that kind of power in their voice. Dani's voice is unreal.
