Sacrificial Bonfire

Fogueira Sacrificial

Sacrificial Bonfire

Fogo, eles gritaramFire they cried
Então o mal deve morrerSo evil must die
E os frutos são bonsAnd yields are good
Então os homens puxam os capuzes e sorriemSo men pull back hoods and smile

O sangue do bode expiatório derramadoThe scapegoat blood spilled
Espumou e grelhou, estalou e cuspiuSpittled and grilled it crackled and spat
E as crianças engordaram com a carneAnd children grew fat on the meat
A mudança deve ser conquistadaChange must be earnt
A fogueira sacrificial deve queimarSacrificial bonfire must burn
Queimar o velhoBurn up the old
Trazer o novoBring in the new

Queimar o velhoBurn up the old
Trazer o novoBring in the new

Reunidos lá em cimaAssembled on high
Silhueta contra o céuSilhouette against the sky
A fumaça rezava e dançavaThe smoke prayed and pranced
E as faíscas faziam sua dança no ventoAnd sparks did their dance in the wind
As fantasias se tornaram finas com menos e menos peleDisguises wore thin with less and less skin
E as roupas que estavam penduradasAnd the clothes that were draped
Eram tudo que separava o homem do macacoWas all that told man from ape
A mudança deve ser conquistadaChange must be earnt
A fogueira sacrificial deve reinarSacrificial bonfire must reign
Reinar sobre o bemReign over good
Banir o malBanish the bad

Oh, reinar sobre o bemOh,Reign over good
Banir o mal, oh, ohhBanish the bad, oh, ohh
