Lyrics

Catch a fire and burn all the misery Foul fingers spin mob mentality Anger on the rise as the flames grow higher Choke on the smoke of the funeral pyre Backfire Killing all we’ve learned History will burn Burn it Smile as it burns to the ground The perfect don’t want you around Question yourself, you may learn Who’s the next witch you must burn? You must burn! In the name of hell, henchmen to conspire Black figures loom as a dark desire Inquisition served, build your enemy Tied to the stake, torching heresy Flame out Killing all we’ve learned History will burn Burn it Smile as it burns to the ground The perfect don’t want you around Question yourself, you may learn You are the witch you must burn You must burn! In the heat of the night In the moon’s shining light Feed the appetite In the heat of the night In the moon’s shining light Feed the appetite Smile as it burns to the ground The perfect don’t want you around Question yourself, you may learn You are the witch you must burn You must burn! You must burn! You must burn! You must burn!
