Killing Joke - The Death & Resurrection Show lyrics

Mark out the points build the pyre
Assemble different drummers
Light up the fire put on your masks
And animal skins illumination
Illumination listen to the drums
Between each beat each beat of the drum
O beloved mother of liberty
Hold me in your arms

Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat
Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat

And the day will come
Before the lights go out
Who will you turn to? Who will you turn to?
Choose the crucifixion or Osiris slain
Recurring themes time again

Illumination illumination
Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat

Oh how ingenious, the centuries of lies
Ezekiel's chariots streak across the skies
Holy books and history texts
Forget because we know souls are recycled in
The death and resurrection show
O beloved woman of liberty come to me

Everything I'm taught amounts to naught
Everything I learn the fire shall burn
Notions of myself that I'm not
Whoever I was is now lost

Illumination illumination
Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat

Oh how ingenious, the centuries of lies
Ezekiel's chariots streak across the skies
Holy books and history texts
Forget because we know souls are recycled in
The death and resurrection show

O beloved woman of liberty come to me
Burn away all my impurities
Hold me in your arms

Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat
Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat

Oh how ingenious, the centuries of lies
Ezekiel's chariots streak across the skies
Holy books and history texts
Forget because we know souls are recycled in
The death and resurrection show
O beloved woman of liberty
Hold me in your arms
