BURN IN EFFIGY (Edit) Aug. 1/06 Karl Rigelhof

Crying out loud
Doesn't seem to help
You feel lost in the crowd
Washed up in a sea of doubt
Fallen on deaf ears
Echoes scream and shout
Your name
Again

CHORUS:
Burn in effigy
Pictures of you and me
Everything up in smoke
Burn in effigy

Happy smiling people
Lead their happy little lives
Sad to see that evil
Shines like daggers from their eyes
Swallowing their joy
Without compromise
It's all the same
Once again

The best laid plans
Of mice and men
Just understand
Don't try to pretend
We all know it's over
It just a question of when
Never again

CHORUS:
Burn in effigy
Pictures of you and me
Have all gone up in smoke
Burn in effigy

Photos shattered and torn
Feed the fire
Ashes scattered by the storm
Salted with tears
Fallow fields forgotten
Hallowed earth never to be sewn

CHORUS:
Burn in effigy
Pictures of you and me
It's all gone up in smoke
Burn in effigy

Burn in effigy
Burn in effigy
Burn in effigy
