Xtc - Sacrificial Bonfire lyrics

Fire they cried<br>So evil must die<br>And yields are good<br>So men pull back hoods and smile<br>The scapegoat blood spilled<br>Spittled and grilled it crackled and spat<br>And children grew fat on the meat<br>Change must be earnt<br>Sacrificial bonfire must burn<br>Burn up the old<br>Ring in the new<br>Assembled on high<br>Silhouette against the sky<br>The smoke prayed and pranced<br>And sparks did their dance in the wind<br>Shadows wore thin with less and less skin<br>And the clothes that were draped<br>Was all that told man from ape<br>Change must be earnt<br>Sacrificial bonfire must reign<br>Reign over good<br>Banish the bad
