Gotham Is Burning Lyrics

Hook:

Let's torch it all

And watch it fall apart - tonight

It's burning (it's burning) tonight

Let's torch it all

For all the broken hearts - tonight

It's burning (it's burning)

Verse 1:

Can you see those stars in the sky, feel the cold wind blowing?

See the moon while I'm blowing out a smoke ring

Light another cigarette while thinking "I'm a show them"

Make sure they know none sicker when I go in

He's a beast, yeah, a bastard they call him

Always put it all in his tracks and make sure that

They know he ain't just another rascal, aboard with

A nack for that raw shit in rap, living lawless

Just a man going after it all and he's

Willing to push it to the max for the glory

Though he's well-aware of the fact it'll cost him

Everything he loves, kiss his daughter on the forehead

Then he's gone in the cracks of the fortress

Glance at the city in the back, so alluring

One last time, then ignores all the warnings

Picking up the torch and see the flame looking gorgeous...

Chorus.

Verse 2:

Nowadays when I look in the mirror my reflection is tired

(And weak) but, tell me, how do you rest with the fire

Lit under your eyelids, possessed by a higher

Will to kill 'em all, break the necks of these giants

On this path, on my own, I travel in slow-

-mo through the lands of the cold and arrogant folks

Some panic arose, and yet my/his balance would show

A talented young padawan who had Anakin's soul

Darkness in his mind, entangled with hope

And he knew to reach that high - he had to get low

Images flashing of the magic he had that would grow

Into an obsession as the passion got out of control

Nowadays he moves in a mechanical mode

With his mind set on the top, his plan is to blow

Right now I'm thinking you might as well hand me the globe

Since we're all just moments away from insanity. Go...

Chorus (x2)
