Burning Bridges
  Oh, bridges burnt can never be the same
  Nothing from the ash can be reclaimed
  Oak and blackberry soot flow down river drains
  It’s all swallowed up with the roaring flames
  And I saw you rip my banner
  Then sent your fighters and gunners
  Raided in the night; no room for my light,
  Cold enough water, oh, weapons drawn at will
  Landslides nor volcanoes could ever do this much.
  Siege over my walls and towers
  Made my armies into cowards
  Raided in the night; no room for my light,
  Cold enough metal, oh, blood spilled at will
  Landslides nor volcanoes could ever do this much.
All because I burned those rivers dry.
  With burning bridges, you see destruction
  Burning bridges, I’ve clouded your mind
  Burning bridges, hands like MacBeth
  Burning bridges, red in your eyes
  Even though we fight on the same side.
  Now we must fight Mjolnir
  Unite to fight against the Gods
  Or suffer the gold deer,
  Tyranny reigns ‘gainst the odds.
  Cold enough hammer, oh, hearts ground at will
  Landslides nor volcanoes could ever do this much
  But now we fight on the same side.
  With burning bridges, you see destruction
  Burning bridges, I’ve clouded your mind
  Burning bridges, hands like MacBeth
  Burning bridges, red in your eyes
  Even though we fight on the same side.
  So when I see you fighting
  I know you’ll be my best
  They’ll know the walls have writing
  When their chances have passed
  So I will burn and you will tear
  Biting arms and pulling hair
  And we’ll storm the mountain there
  And we will show them we live here.
  Burning bridges (they will know us by the end of the night)
  With burning bridges (we’ll burn brighter than the sun)
  With burning bridges (the heat will melt icy hell)
  Landslides nor volcanoes could ever do this much.

This song was written with inspiration from Ed Sheeran's I See Fire. So much so, in fact, that these lyrics can replace the original word for word. It's as if I wrote alternative lyrics to the exact same song*.
*This is exactly what I did. I do not own the original song in any form, and wrote this merely to reflect my attachment to Ed Sheeran's version of the song.
