Lyrics
King Of Straw
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 owe so much to the enemy
If not for them where would we be?
We spoke of what was hidden
That was against the law
Tonight we burn the king of straw
I'd give my eyes to light the way for you
Swallow all your lies to show my faith in you
When the veil was lifted
We spoke of what we saw
Tonight we burn the king of straw
He'll only endure
If we burn him
Burning ensures his return
Name the fear, some people say
And the fear will fade away
He once made us tremble
He once inspired awe
Tonight we burn the king of straw
