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

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



Burn away all my impurities

Hold me in your arms



Burn burn, burn brightly

Burn burn, burn white heat
