Lyrics You Will Burn - Steeleye Span

You Will Burn

We will be kneeling at your bedside
We’ll pray for your soul like the good Lord said
Let all be forgiven let none be denied
Then one night as you sleep in your goose feather bed
We will be standing at your bedside
Your bones will be broken and your blood will be shed
Your eyes will be taken and your hands will be tied
Then we’ll take you to the forest
Where none will hear your cry
And we’ll cut down the Sycamore and Broom
And it’s there we will forgive you
And it’s there we’ll watch you die
Like a dancing silhouette against the moon
And you will burn, you will burn
We will purify your soul in the fire, in the fire
And your spirit will live forever
It will rise, it will rise
From the ashes and the embers in your eyes, in your eyes
And your spirit will live forever
Praise the Lord
Another soul is saved
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
One night as you sleep in your goose feather bed
We will be kneeling at your bedside
We’ll pray for your soul like the good Lord said
Let all be forgiven let none be denied
Then one night as you sleep in your goose feather bed
We will be standing at your bedside
Your home will be burning and your child will be dead
Your eyes will be taken and your hands will be tied
Then we’ll take you to the forest
Where none will hear your cry
And we’ll cut down the Sycamore and Broom
And it’s there we will forgive you
And it’s there we’ll watch you die
Like a dancing silhouette against the moon
And you will burn, you will burn
We will purify your soul in the fire, in the fire
And your spirit will live forever
It will rise, it will rise
From the ashes and the embers in your eyes, in your eyes
And your spirit will live forever
Praise the Lord
Another soul is saved
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
Another soul is saved
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
