Light it Up
L.A. Knights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight this place is set to burn
With the heat of ten thousand raging fires
Let the ashes scatter on the wind
Strike a match let it flash like a detonator wire

Light it up, light it up, light it up scorch the ground
Light it up, light it up, burn it down, burn it down
A trail of sparks across the night
That will make the stars in the sky look dim
We're the thunder that no one forgets
Strike a match let it flash let the fun begin

Light it up, light it up, light it up scorch the ground
Light it up, light it up, burn it down, burn it down

Follow the path of broken bones
Back to the place where power's sown

Light it up, light it up, light it up scorch the ground




Light it up, light it up, burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down
