Burn The Light
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We melted down the gold
The gold that we found buried in her teeth
For wigs her hair was sold
To drunken soldiers, stumbling down the street
Let us burn the light
And all that's good and right
Inside our hearts
The chemicals that caught
The rainbow colored shapes to fill our eyes
Made powder from her bones
Dissolving it with sugar as prescribed
Let us burn the light
And all that's good and right
Inside our hearts
With victory declared
Gently spread her feathers on the wall
Then dosing in the sleigh
We woke to see the stadium at dawn
Let us burn the light
And all that's good and right
Inside our hearts
We melted down the gold
The gold she wore when she had been a wife
Her secrets then were told
By drunken poets, tired of their lives
