Burn it down, burn it down
Free all those servants
From the chains of corruption
Shatter their altars to dust
Let the fire cleanse
I baptize you with water for repentance,
But after me comes one who is more powerful than I,
Whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
His winnowing fork is in his hand
And he will clear his trashing floor.
Gathering his weed into the barn
And burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Burn it down, burn it down
Free this world from this disease
Burn it down, burn it down
Drown their adherent in disbelief
Burn it down, burn it down
Free your mind from fear and grief
Burn it down, burn it down
A functional society we retrieve
In the fire of justice it shall burn
Cauterize the gaping wound
Fill it up with free eagerness
From the ashes we'll start to create
Rotten stench of thousand years
Burn them to dust
Poisonous wounds that filled our ears
Burn them to dust
Letters that raped our soul and mind
Burn them to dust
The hostage of the humankind
Burn them to dust
Burn it down, burn it down
Free this world from this disease
Burn it down, burn it down
Drown their adherent in disbelief
Burn it down, burn it down
Free your mind from fear and grief
Burn it down, burn it down
A functional society we retrieve
