Libraries

Let me take your words from you today

Tell me what you've always yearned to say

Sing about the trials you have known

'Cause there will be a fire here today

All you see will slowly fade away

Into ashes, shadows and the mist

Make it quick, don't try to understand

Trucks and hoses soon will be at hand

Tell all that you know before you go

And I will write it down here in my book

I promise you that I will never look

Until the day has come when the fire starts

Libraries burn fast

When they're in the past

Once you leave all your stories will be gone

Libraries burn fast

They weren't built to last

Flames of memory burn brighter than the rest

Libraries are burning

Should we try to save them? What will we be missing?

Libraries burn fast

When they're in the past

Once you leave all your stories will be gone

Libraries burn fast

They weren't built to last

Flames of memory burn brighter than the rest
