The Death & Resurrection Show - Killing Joke

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 drums

O Beloved mother of liberty

hold me in your arms

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

reccuring 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.

Soul’s are recycled in the death and

resurrection show

O 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.

Soul’s 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

Oh how ingenious the centuries of lies

Ezekiel’s chariots streak across the skies

Holy books and history texts forget

because we know.

Soul’s are recycled in the death and

resurrection show

O beloved woman of liberty

Hold me in your arms
