歌詞
(Verse 1)
In the summer of eighteen-fourteen, the skies were clear and blue,
Washington was buzzing, the capital’s debut.
The British had a mission, with torches in their hands,
To make a blazing statement, and light up all the lands.
(Pre-Chorus)
Then came the redcoats marching, with fire in their eyes,
Ready for destruction, beneath the starry skies.
(Chorus)
D.C. in flames, the heart of a nation,
A night of sorrow, a night of devastation.
D.C. in flames, the city's silent plea,
Ashes and embers, where hope used to be.
(Verse 2)
The White House was their target, a symbol standing tall,
They set it all ablaze, watched the mighty fall.
The President was fleeing, his home now burning bright,
The British left a mark, on that fateful night.
(Pre-Chorus)
Then came the redcoats marching, with fire in their eyes,
Ready for destruction, beneath the starry skies.
(Chorus)
D.C. in flames, the heart of a nation,
A night of sorrow, a night of devastation.
D.C. in flames, the city's silent plea,
Ashes and embers, where hope used to be.
(Bridge)
They danced around the fires, the Capitol in glow,
A symbol of their power, a devastating show.
The city's heart was breaking, as the flames grew high,
A nation's spirit tested, beneath a smoke-filled sky.
(Chorus)
D.C. in flames, the heart of a nation,
A night of sorrow, a night of devastation.
D.C. in flames, the city's silent plea,
Ashes and embers, where hope used to be.
(Outro)
In the summer of eighteen-fourteen, the skies were clear and blue,
Washington was buzzing, the capital’s debut.
We remember the heartbreak, and the tears that fell,
D.C. in flames, a story we must tell.
