Paradox - The Burning lyrics

[How the crusaders burnt the Cathars as punishment for their so called heretic beliefs] Watch the final scene At the Bucher or the stake Gonna build a tower to bum Torch, a flaming brand, a pyre blazing scourge Heretics Clad in flames die in silence It is no doubt the right way The perfect way to go An end to this damn heresy An end to this damn war Crowds watch and wait the spectacle unfolds Orgasmic in intensity their hate Look, feel the power as flash begins to char Die now and speak your useless prayers Yell for forgiveness Grovel in your shame You'll find that your protector Won't save you from the flames Your vision of a brand new day Was ravaged by the war Fire is your just reward Ignominy your fate Flames shall feed the fire Flames shall purify The church of Rome has issued this decree Flames destroy the works Flames destroy the liars Fire destroy the heresy we fear The heresy we fear So, if you don't see it our way this is what you get War and flaming towers as reward So renounce your teachings Come back into the fold The choice you have peace or holy war It is no doubt the right way The perfect way to go An end to this damn heresy An end to this damn war Burn if you desire Burn this very day We have a thousand torches To help you on your way Burn if you desire Burn in silent rite Your heretics beliefs could even save you all Could even save you all Heresy was to blame For lives lost in the fire The holy church in shame For its part in the history of the burning
