Cold-Blooded

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
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
'Cause 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
'Cause I hold this world in the palm of my hand
Oh, oh
The people stand, and sing it out with me
They keep singing
"Oh, oh"
"Oh, oh"
"Oh, 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
My cities ablaze
And I lost the world
