Inishmore - Burn It Down lyrics

rate me

The other night I awoke in pain, <br />

A dream of madness filled my brain.<br />

Narrow minded, ignorant and blind, <br />

Almighty hypocrites wait for a sign! <br />

I saw them long ago, march to a land, <br />

A trail of blood marked in the sand.<br />

The land called holy they had to release, <br />

Free it from pagans who lived there in peace.<br />

In my mind I hear them pray, <br />

It makes me shiver what they say.<br />

To much falseness for me to take, <br />

Suddenly I feel the hate... <br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

Burn it down, burn it down, <br />

Burn the walls right to the ground, <br />

Burn it down, burn it down, <br />

I love the fires' sound! <br />

<br />

In my dream I drift away<br />

To the centre of their crimes.<br />

Their power grows, the lies they stay, <br />

In Rome where the evil rise's.<br />

Burn the witches; hunt them down.<br />

Betray the king and steel his crown.<br />

Don't dare to oppose you brainwashed fools, <br />

Or the wrath of god will come down on you! <br />

And as the morning light appears, <br />

The cries of the victims still fill my ears.<br />

Too much falseness and ignorance make<br />

Me shiver and again I feel the hate<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

<br />

Reading the papers I know it's insane, <br />

But nowadays not many things have changed.<br />

There are still people killing in gods name, <br />

But whatever they're called they are all the same.<br />

So open your mind and make yourself free, <br />

The choice is yours in what you believe.<br />

Stay your own god be true to yourself, <br />

Build your own Kingdom forever to be!
