lyrics

we are gonna burn this god damn town to the ground.
mark the plague upon your door,
invade your precious shore,
we are gonna burn this god damn town to the ground.

so build your walls and barricades,
to be destroyed by our guns and grenades, yeah
we are gonna burn this god damn town to the ground.

you were built to forget who you are,
simply made to forget where you came from,
there's no looking back,
no adapting or redesign.

a plaster mold you were set in society,
a market made for you and your kind.
you'll buy what they tell you,
it's all that compels you,
no passion or virtue, no nothing that makes you, you.

this is a revolution i designed,
a visionary for the blind, so
we are gonna burn this god damn city to the ground.

i can't describe it with this bleeding pen,
we must scream our freedom,
from tanks and machine guns, yeah
i am gonna burn this god damn country to the ground.

you were built to abide by a code,
taking risks was erased in your prototype,
a formula that leaves no room for change.

your first step was recorded and archived,
childhood was lost,
an opinion was filtered, so
we are gonna burn your god damn town to the ground.

about

thenight Sydney, Australia

thenight (originally she's themorning and thenight) spawned from the song writing of lead singer Neal Critchley.

From this, add a little bit of rhythm here, a sprinkle of strings, and a dash of melody over there, and you have made yourself a band with great integrity and dedication. We are thenight, and we will have you singing along in no time. ... more
