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 earnt
|
Sacrificial bonfire must burn
|
Burn up the old
|
Bring in the new
|
|
Burn up the old
|
Bring in the new
|
|
Assembled on high
|
Silhouette against the sky
|
The smoke prayed and pranced
|
And sparks did their dance in the wind
|
Disguises wore thin with less and less skin
|
And the clothes that were draped
|
Was all that told man from ape
|
Change must be earnt
|
Sacrificial bonfire must reign
|
Reign over good
|
Banish the bad
|
|
Oh,Reign over good
|
Banish the bad, oh, ohh
|
