[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
