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