Sacrificial Bonfire

Fire they cried

So evil must die

And yields are good

So men pull back hoods and smileThe scapegoat blood spilled

Spittled and grilled

It crackled and spat

Children grew fat on the meatChange must be earntSacrificial bonfire

Must burnBurn up the old

Bring in the new

Burn up the old

Bring in the newAssembled on high

Silhouette against the sky

The smoke prayed and pranced

And sparks did their dance in the windDisguises wore thin

With less and less skin

And the clothes that were draped

Was all that told man from apeChange must be earntSacrificial bonfire

Must reignReign over good

Banish the bad

Oh, reign over good

Banish the bad, oh, ohh
