It was midnight, I still remember the fight
It was September, I swear I saw the flames flicker
In your eyes as our voices raised
As words got sharper, we were like oil and water
Like flint on steel: oh the sparks were real
And the embers got us oh so good
We burned, burned, burned our castle to the ground
It was arson and we meant it, matches brought us our renown
Yeah, we burned, burned, burned our castle to the ground
Threw a torch in for good measure, left without a single sound
Without a sound
It was explosive, we couldn't stop the impulses
We went all in, pulling out names like grenade pins
And ashes fell like silver rain
And then we poured gasoline on the floor
Lit the place up, but, oh, it wasn't enough
So we topped it off with good old TNT
We burned, burned, burned our castle to the ground
It was arson and we meant it, matches brought us our renown
Yeah, we burned, burned, burned our castle to the ground
Threw a torch in for good measure, left without a single sound
Without a sound
Now I'm up in flames, but it's all I've got
Yeah we're up in flames, and it's all our fault
Now I'm up in flames, but it's all I've got
Yeah we're up in flames, and it's all our fault
Now I'm up in flames, but it's all I've got
Now we're up in flames, and it's all your fault
(We're burning down, down, down as we burned up, up, up
We're burning, we're burning down, down, down as we burned up)
We burned our castle to the ground
It was arson and we had meant it, though we both regret it now
We burned, burned, burned our castle to the ground
It was arson and we meant it, matches brought us our renown
Yeah, we burned, burned, burned our castle to the ground
Threw a torch in for good measure, left without a single sound
Without a sound
