Burning the Gold (версия 2)

Verse 1

Cold light on the concrete floor

Sneakers squeaking as I score

Every window a countdown sign

Tell the city what it left behind

Sixteen years of blood and pride

Standing tall where the shadows hide

This street knows my heartbeat every mile

I've got nothing but a burning smile

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the weight lift now?

Every step's a promise I make somehow

Hold on, hold on — this ain't over yet

Chorus

Burning down the gold I never needed to keep

Rise up where the night keeps breaking free

I'll burn every wall that was meant to confine me

This is how the legend learns its name

Every scar becomes a brand on my skin tonight

Burning down the gold I never needed to keep

Standing tall while the whole city sleeps

I'll burn every chain that told me what to be

Verse 2

Rooftop water tank glowing red

Sirens fade into whatever we need

Every name they ever called me cold —

Turns into a story worth being told

Sixteen years of chasing shadows down —

Turned the whole dark town upside down

I've got nothing but the fire in my chest —

Same flame that never let me rest

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the weight lift now?

Every step's a promise I make somehow

Hold on, hold on — this ain't over yet

Chorus

Burning down the gold I never needed to keep

Rise up where the night keeps breaking free

I'll burn every wall that was meant to confine me

This is how the legend learns its name

Every scar becomes a brand on my skin tonight

Burning down the gold I never needed to keep

Standing tall while the whole city sleeps

I'll burn every chain that told me what to be

Bridge

Tell them fire's not always something to fear —

It's what still burns inside when you let go clear

Maybe one day every window lights up bright —

And the only thing we're burning is a shadow in flight

But till then — I'll keep this flame alive

I don't wanna save myself, I want to light up right

Chorus

Burning down the gold I never needed to keep

Rise up where the night keeps breaking free

I'll burn every wall that was meant to confine me

This is how the legend learns its name

Every scar becomes a brand on my skin tonight

Burning down the gold I never needed to keep

Standing tall while the whole city sleeps

I'll burn every chain that told me what to be
