Nocturne - It Burns lyrics

(Music and Lyrics by Chris Telkes)

It doesn't matter

If you're right or wrong

If you're not like the others

Then you don't belong

And if you don't live like they want you to

There's some re-education awaiting you

And it burns …

You were told not to think that it's best to pray

The one's with ideas were all led away

And those who were watching brimmed up with hate

They were learning the meaning of police-state

And it burned…

The village was burning the brightest flame

The men were all slaughtered in heaven's name

The women were hanging from the highest trees

The priests were all praying on skinless knees

And it burned…

Reprogrammed

By the state

Reprogrammed

Stripped of hate

Reprogrammed

They recreate

Reprogrammed

To subjugate

And all the pigs and soldiers sang,

“Don't blame me, I'm not in control

Don't blame me I just do what I'm told.”
