King Of Straw - Slapp Happy

We owe so much to the enemy

If not for them where would we be?

We spoke of what was hidden

That was against the law

Tonight we burn the king of straw

I’d give my eyes to light the way for you

Swallow all your lies to show my faith in you

When the veil was lifted

We spoke of what we saw

Tonight we burn the king of straw

He’ll only endure

If we burn him

Burning ensures his return

Name the fear, some people say

And the fear will fade away

He once made us tremble

He once inspired awe

Tonight we burn the king of straw
