Lyrics

Bilingual
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
O beloved Mother of Liberty, hold me in your arms
ย
Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat
Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat
ย
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
ย
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
ย
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
ย
O beloved Woman of Liberty, come to me
Burn away all my impurities, hold me in your arms
ย
Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat
ย
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
O beloved Woman of Liberty, hold me in your arms
