Sacrificial Bonfire |
Fire they cried |
So evil must die |
And yields are good |
So men pull back hoods |
And smile |
The scapegoat blood spilled |
Spittled and grilled |
It crackled and spat |
And children grew fat |
On the meat |
Change must be earned |
Sacrificial bonfire |
Must burn |
Burn up the old |
Ring in the new |
Burn up the old |
Ring in the new |
Assembled on high |
Silhouette against the sky |
The smoke prayed and pranced |
And sparks did their dance |
In the wind |
Shadows wore thin |
With less and less skin |
And the clothes that were draped |
Was all that told man |
From ape |
Change must be earned |
Sacrificial bonfire |
Must reign |
Reign over good |
Banish the bad |
Reign over good |
Banish the bad |
Oh |
