Lyrics

Effigy

[Verse 1]

Last night

I saw a fire burning on

The palace lawn

O'er the land

The humble subjects watched in mixed

Emotion

[Chorus]

Who is burning?

Who is burning?

Effigy

Who is burning?

Who is burning?

Effigy

[Verse 2]

Last night

I saw the fire spreading to

The palace door

Silent majority

Weren't keeping quiet

Anymore

[Chorus]

Who is burning?

Who is burning?

Effigy

Who is burning?

Who is burning?

Effigy

[Verse 3]

Last night

I saw the fire spreading to

The country side

In the morning

Few were left to watch

The ashes die

[Chorus]

Who is burning?

Who is burning?

Effigy

Who is burning?

Who is burning?

Effigy

[Outro]

Why?

Why?

Why?

Effigy
