My cities are collapsing to the ground, every building that I've built Will be burned by dawn as I stare in disbelief Oh the pavement's filled with cracks, and my skies have turned to black This throne weighs so heavy The throne that I stood atop is crumbling down beneath my very feet All that I've worked for is gone All I can do is panic and try Just try to wash the blood from my hands, I've shed all my skins And now I'm left with these pure shades of red But maybe I can find a way to change and rebuild every city I must stop, or I could lose it all cuz' I hold this world in the palm of my hand I've set these cities ablaze, but I can't let them burn to the ground I can't let them burn But maybe I can find a way to change and rebuild every city I must stop, or I could lose it all cuz' I hold this world in the palm of my hand The people stand, and sing it out with me They keep singing oh oh I lit the match, and I watched it burn, my cities ablaze, my cities ablaze I shook the ground, when I spoke my words, my cities ablaze and I lost the world
