A Church Is Burning |
A church is burning |
The flames rise higher |
Like hands that are praying |
They grow in the sky |
Like hands that are praying |
The fire ascends |
You can burn down my churches |
But I shall be free |
Three hooded men through the back roads did creep |
Torches in their hands while the village lies asleep |
Down to the church where, just hours before |
Voices were singing, and |
Hands were meeting, and |
Saying, «I won’t be a slave anymore» |
Three hooded men, their hands lit the spark |
And they faded in the night, they vanished in the dark |
And in the cold light of morning, there was nothing that remained |
But the ashes of a Bible and a can of kerosene |
A church is more than just timber and stone |
And freedom is a dark road when you’re walking it alone |
But the future is now, and it’s time to take a stand |
So the lost bells of freedom can ring out in my land |
