If you need it, I'll build a cathedral in these hills
I'll write you a sermon where holy communion was whiskey and pills
A jigsaw confession, indecent act of contrition
Whatever the mess, we'll make the best of it
Cold-blooded angels fly closer to the sun
Sugar from strangers is sweeter than none

We'll build a world
And burn it down
Everything is pretty
When we burn it to the ground
We'll build a world
And burn it down
Everything is pretty
When we burn it to the ground
We're built to burn

If it's fire you desire
I'll hire an unholy choir
Sing you through the rings of Hell
Hot-blooded demons with Heaven on their minds
Drunk on the dreams of unspeakable crimes

We'll build a world
And burn it down
Everything is pretty
When we burn it to the ground
We'll build a world
And burn it down
Everything is pretty
When we burn it to the ground
We're built to burn

No matter how long
No matter how long it takes
We'll make a glorious disaster
No matter how long
No matter how long it takes
We'll set our pace to Ever After

We'll build a world
And burn it down
Everything is pretty
When we burn it to the ground
We'll build a world
And burn it down
Everything is pretty
When we burn it to the ground
We're built to burn
