Light it Up
L.A. Knights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
