Killing Joke The Death & Resurrection Show Lyrics

The Death & Resurrection Show Lyrics

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

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

Recurring 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

Souls are recycled in the death and resurrection show

Oh beloved mother of liberty, come to me



Everything I'm taught, amounts to not

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

Souls are recycled in the death and resurrection show



Oh, 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

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

Souls are recycled in the death and resurrection show



Oh, beloved woman of liberty

Hold me in your arms
