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 drum
Oh beloved mother
Of liberty
Hold me in your arms
Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat
[2x]
And the day will come
Before the lights go out
Who will you turn to? [2x]
Choose the crucifixion
Or Osiris slain
Recurring themes
Time again
Illumination, illumination
Burn burn, burn white heat [2x]
Oh how ingenious
The centuries of lies
Ezechiel's chariots
Streak across the skies
Holy books and history texts
Forget because we know
Souls are recycled in
The death and resurrection show
Oh beloved woman of liberty
Come to me!
Everything I'm taught
Amounts to naught
Everything I learn
The fire shall burn
Notions of myself
That when 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
Ezechiel's chariots
Streak across the skies
Holy books and history texts
Forget because we know
Souls are recycled in
The death and resurrection show
Oh beloved mother of liberty
Come to me!
Burn away all my impurities
Hold me, in your... arms!
Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat
[2x]
Oh how ingenious
The centuries of lies
Ezechiel's chariots
Streak across the skies
Holy books and history texts
Forget because we know
Souls are recycled in
The death and resurrection show
Oh beloved woman of liberty
Hold me, in your... arms!
