The Death and Resurrection Show Songtext
von Jeff Beck

Mark out the points
Build the pyre
Assemble different drummers
Light the fire
Put on your masks
And animal skins
Illumination
Illumination

Listen to the drums
Between each beat (beat, beat, beat)
Each beat of the drum
Oh, beloved mother of
Of liberty
Hold me in your arms (arms...)

Burn, burn, burn brightly
Burn, burn, burn white heat
Burn, burn, burn brightly
Burn, burn, burn white heat


And the day will come
Before the lights go out
Who will you turn to?
Who will you turn to?
Choose the crucifixion
Or Osiris slain
Recurring themes
Time again

Illumination
Illumination
Burn, burn, burn brightly
Burn, burn, burn white heat

Oh, how ingenious, the centuries of lies
Ezekiel′s chariots streak across the skies
Holy books and history texts forget because we know
Souls are recycled in the death and resurrection show

Oh, beloved woman of liberty
Come to me

Everything I'm taught
Amounts to naught
Everything I learn
The fire shall burn
Notions of myself
That I′m not
Whoever I was
Is now lost


Illumination
Illumination
Burn, burn, burn brightly
Burn, burn, burn white heat

Oh, how ingenious, the centuries of lies
Ezekiel's chariots streak across the skies
Holy books and history texts forget because we know
Souls are recycled in the death and resurrection show

Oh, beloved woman of liberty
Come to me
Burn away all my impurities
Hold me in your arms

Burn, burn
Burn, burn
Burn, burn
Burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn brightly
Burn, burn, burn white heat
Burn, burn, burn brightly
Burn, burn, burn white heat
