A Book To Burn

Kerosene is nothing but perfume to me

By fire be purged!

Run away! The horizon bleeds
Declaring the day of majestic deeds
It’s just a beginning and soon you’ll be cured
Lit up by a wisdom of the coming grandeur

A greedy nozzle contains a vaccine
Perceiving the letters with its tongue of kerosene
I just enjoy playing with fire

By my sacred right I overshadow the skies
With a sticky swarm of scared fireflies
And from now on all you need to learn
That’s how it looks – a book to burn

Now repeat that at the point of gun
Here are the saving Four-Five-One

Your vague opinion is just a ridiculous stricture
God it’s so boring: not even a picture
God it’s so boring. Relax and ignore it
Let the flame judge and blame

By my sacred right I overshadow the skies
With a sticky swarm of scared fireflies
And from now on all you need to learn
That’s how it looks – a book to burn
To tear, to crush, to clear

By fire be purged

Sheet by sheet it burns as it lies
Sheet by sheet - the black butterflies
And from now on all you need to learn
That’s how it looks – a book to burn
A book to burn

Fire is bright, fire is clean!

I burn ‘em to ashes then burn the ashes
Pouring into your eyes the curative flashes
And from now on all you need to learn
Those who don’t build must burn
Sheet by sheet it burns as it lies
Sheet by sheet - the black butterflies…
