"London Is Burning" lyrics
(Assassin's Creed: Syndicate Song)
City plagued by corruption and pollution
Time for a disruption within the revolution
There is no confusion, conjure a solution
To judge, jury and then commit the execution
So leave it to Jacob, Evie, the Frye twins
Handing out justice, dispensing all this violence
Clean the industry, free London from its vile sins
Break the shackles and leave the Templars in silence
This isn't something that can be swept under the carpet
It would be a shame if you happen to be my target
Get identified by your attire, then I mark it
Follow you to Camden and leave you dead in the market
I'm a ray of hopes that operates in the shade
It's hard to keep my suit clean with my hidden blade
Gotta get your hands dirty, never keep em clean
You are not a kingpin, you're just a cog in the machine
In a city polluted we will tear down your walls and take your crown
You must be deluded, can't you see London is burning, London is burning down
Time for a revolution, through all the smoke and the flames we are found
You will never see us overthrow your kingdom cause London is burning, London is burning down
The children are afflicted with sickness and deprivation
Time to strike is now, no, we don't need to be patient
Liberate the people, I can not be stopped
I won't make a sound, even when the beat drops
Sworn to the Creed, born and bred killer
Got a body count, but don't compare me to the Ripper
Even more if you include my gang the rooks
But this is not a story you'll see in history books
Don't pick a fight if you came to make a mockery
Making money off the people, but you can not pocket me
Take over the lands from Whitechapel to Coventry
Got my hands in everything, this is my monopoly
Power in my hands, but I'll keep the people safe
This is not a game, it's a leap of faith
I'll risk it all just to take down your empire
Even if it means that we set the city on fire
In a city polluted we will tear down your walls and take your crown
You must be deluded, can't you see London is burning, London is burning down
Time for a revolution, through all the smoke and the flames we are found
You will never see us overthrow your kingdom cause London is burning, London is burning down
This is not a game, you can see the tables have been turned
We're a dangerous flame, play with the fire you'll be burned
Now London is burning, London is burning
Now London is burning, London is burning, London is burning now
In a city polluted we will tear down your walls and take your crown
You must be deluded, can't you see London is burning, London is burning down
Time for a revolution, through all the smoke and the flames we are found
You will never see us overthrow your kingdom cause London is burning, London is burning down
Time for a disruption within the revolution
There is no confusion, conjure a solution
To judge, jury and then commit the execution
So leave it to Jacob, Evie, the Frye twins
Handing out justice, dispensing all this violence
Clean the industry, free London from its vile sins
Break the shackles and leave the Templars in silence
This isn't something that can be swept under the carpet
It would be a shame if you happen to be my target
Get identified by your attire, then I mark it
Follow you to Camden and leave you dead in the market
I'm a ray of hopes that operates in the shade
It's hard to keep my suit clean with my hidden blade
Gotta get your hands dirty, never keep em clean
You are not a kingpin, you're just a cog in the machine
In a city polluted we will tear down your walls and take your crown
You must be deluded, can't you see London is burning, London is burning down
Time for a revolution, through all the smoke and the flames we are found
You will never see us overthrow your kingdom cause London is burning, London is burning down
The children are afflicted with sickness and deprivation
Time to strike is now, no, we don't need to be patient

Time for a revolution, through all the smoke and the flames we are found
You will never see us overthrow your kingdom cause London is burning, London is burning down
