Killing JokeThe Death & Resurrection Show

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
Oh beloved mother of liberty
Hold me in your arms
Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat (2x)
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
Oh beloved woman of liberty
Come to me
Everything I’m taught, amounts to nought
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
Oh 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 (2x)
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
Oh beloved woman of liberty
Hold me in your arms
