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 
Bring in the new 

Burn up the old 
Bring in the new 

Assembled on high 
Silhouette against the sky 
The smoke prayed and pranced 
And sparks did their dance in the wind 
Disguises 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 

Oh,Reign over good 
Banish the bad, oh, ohh
