The Death & Resurrection Show — Killing Joke

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

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 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

O beloved Mother of Liberty Come to me

Everything I'm taught, amounts to nought 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

O beloved Woman of Liberty Come to me Fade away all my impurity Hold me in your arms

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
