Royal Hunt - Burn

I'm walking on ashes and kicking debris
Sirens and flashes, what a scene! The perfect place to be
Not for the fainthearted - this job you can't touch
To get the show started all I have to do is light a match
We're gracing with fire some meaningless books
Appreciating how it looks!
How it looks

And now I'm watching them burn
(Watching them burn)
Nightmares and dreams, hopes for a future return
(Never return)
Page after page, all of them sentenced to burn

Sentenced to burn

We're here for the tension, we're here to provoke
Pay attention! Watch a pile of books go up in smoke
If sounds a bit scary - for us it's just fun
Opinions may vary... Damn, this fire's brighter than the sun
Somebody came closer - got eaten by flames
But nobody will know their names
Know their names

Watching them burn
(Watching them burn)
Nightmares and dreams, hopes for a future return
(Never return)
Legends and tales that we're all set to unlearn
(Set to unlearn)
Ready or not... Hey, look, it's not our concern
(Not our concern)
Page after page after page sentenced to burn

And now I'm watching them burn
And now I'm watching them burn
And now I'm watching them burn
Nightmares and dreams, hopes for a future return
(Never return)
Legends and tales that we're all set to unlearn
(Set to unlearn)
Ready or not... Hey, look, it's not our concern
(Not our concern)
Page after page after page sentenced to burn

Sentenced to burn
Sentenced to burn

There is more than one way to burn a book
and the world is full of people running about
with lit matches. Every minority feels it has
the will, the right, the duty to douse the
kerosene, light the fuse... each ripping a page
or a paragraph from this book, then that book,
until the day came when the books were empty
and the minds shut and the libraries closed forever.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Ray Bradbury
