I hear the siren drawing near

451 I am exposed

The salamander arrives

In front of my eyes

Before the door

The firechief

Armed with a flamethrower

Ready for a new procedure

He roars at me, "Open the door!

There's no way out.

You know what's gonna happen now."

This is your chance

Show me that you regret

You fatuous fool

Books aren't necessary

They cause disorder between people

Disturbing the peace

Your wife is already gone

Do you want to lose everything?

For heaven's sake

Do you remember the girl?

You met her several times

We had to eliminate her

She was a nonconformist

And you are turning into one too

Take the flamethrower

Burn the books to ashes

Then burn the ashes

He hands me the weapon

I turn around and pull the trigger

The firechief turns into a human torch

He flares, he flickers

Then he breaks down

With the books put under my garment

I burn everything down to ashes

All the lies, all the insanity

To leave the corset that once was my life

She was a nonconformist

And you are turning into one too

Take the flamethrower

Burn the books to ashes

Then burn the ashes
