Burn The Light Lyrics - Hungry Bird - Clem Snide

We melted down the gold 

The gold that we found buried in her teeth 

For wigs her hair was sold 

To drunken soldiers, stumbling down the street 

Let us burn the light 

And all that's good and right 

Inside our hearts 

The chemicals that caught 

The rainbow colored shapes to fill our eyes 

Made powder from her bones 

Dissolving it with sugar as prescribed 

Let us burn the light 

And all that's good and right 

Inside our hearts 

With victory declared 

Gently spread her feathers on the wall 

Then dosing in the sleigh 

We woke to see the stadium at dawn 

Let us burn the light 

And all that's good and right 

Inside our hearts 

We melted down the gold 

The gold she wore when she had been a wife 

Her secrets then were told 

By drunken poets, tired of their lives
