Building your pyre We're burning in your fire We sneak through the cities We take whatever we need Under the wheel That's turning and turning It takes the best of us And burns the rest Burning, on fire Burning, I'm on fire Under the wheel Burning, I'm on fire When we're gone, what will remain? Fire from heaven Fire from below There's no better feeling than burning for you When you're gone, I will remain We built this pyre So you don't have to burn We're under the wheel Now you don't have to turn So take the best of us And burn the rest
