Funeral Pyre |
| Down in amongst the streets tonight |
| Books will burn, people laugh and cry in their turmoil |
| (turmoil turns rejoiceful) |
| Shed your fears and lose your guilt |
| Tonight we burn responsibility in the fire |
| We’ll watch the flames grow higher! |
| But if you get too burnt, you can’t come back home |
| And as I was standing by the edge |
| I could see the faces of those led pissing theirselves laughing |
| (and the flames grew) |
| Their mad eyes buldged their flushed faces said |
| The weak get crushed as the strong grow stronger |
| We feast on flesh and drink on blood |
| Live by fear and dispise love in a crises |
| (what with today’s high prices) |
| Bring some paper and bring some wood |
| Bring what’s left of all your love for the fire |
| We’ll watch the flames grow higher! |
| But if you get too burnt — you can’t come back home |
| And as I was standing by the edge |
| I could see the faces of those led pissing theirselves laughing |
| (and the flames grew) |
| Their mad eyes buldged their flushed faces said |
| The weak get crushed as the strong grow stronger |
| In the funeral pyre |
| We’ll watch the flames grow higher |
| But if you get too burnt — you can’t come back home |
| (well I feel so old, when I feel so young |
| well I just can’t grow up to meet the demands) |
