Lyrics
As Moscow Burns
Please stand! And open your books to
Matthew, Chapter 25.
For I hungered, and ye gave me meat.
I was thirsty and ye gave me drink.
I was a stranger and ye took me in.
Naked, and ye clothed me. Sick, and ye visited me.
I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
And now these words mean nothing to you?
You call the Lord woke? And empathy is a sin?
This has happened before; it will happen again.
Through all the pages of History as they turn, and you still refuse to learn?
And so you choose to Burn.
Burn, burn
Like Atlanta burned
Burn, burn
Like Nagasaki burned
Burn, burn
Like Dresden burned
Burn, burn
As Moscow burns.
You were warned. You were told.
You were taught with books and plays and songs.
But you hardened your hearts. And closed your minds.
And closed your eyes.
And only let your hate churn.
So you choose to burn.
Burn, burn
Like Atlanta burned
Burn, burn
Like Nagasaki burned
Burn, burn
Like Dresden burned
Burn, burn
As Moscow burns.
History is a living thing, it is unforgiving
So these are Truths, not prophesies, not threats.
Because this has all happened before, it will happen again
As the pages of History turn, and you still refuse to learn
So you choose to Burn.
Burn, burn
Like Atlanta burned
Burn, burn
Like Nagasaki burned
Burn, burn
Like Dresden burned
Burn, burn
As Moscow burns.
Burn, burn
Let the Oligarchs burn
Burn, burn
Let Racists burn
Burn, burn
Let Bigots burn
Burn, burn
Let Nazis burn
Burn, burn
Like Atlanta burned
Burn, burn
Like Nagasaki burned
Burn, burn
Like Dresden burned
Burn, burn
As Moscow burns!
