It’s not the right time to lay down and sleep sound
Birds of death have taken flight, they’re now unbound

[Chorus:]
Release me vanity
Tear the temple down
Tear it down to the ground
We’ve chased a dream
For what it seemed
Tear the temple down
Watch it crumble to the ground

One final sigh till lists of delusions fly
Into the cool of a dark winter sky

[Repeat chorus]

Can you hear the sound?
Tear the temple down
Time is running out
Tear the temple down

Down

[Repeat chorus]

Come take a bow
As the temple’s crumbling to the ground
Make a new vow now
Wave goodbye, we’re going down
Down
