The Stench of Burning Thoughts Lyrics


It's a desire to set a blaze

See the fire rise

The beauty of destruction

Something turns from white into black

Then it fades away

So fascinating and so beyond belief

It's in the nature of mankind to feel this way

An inborn captivation

In a time where reading is illegal

And even having books is prohibited

Literacy is oppressed

The termination of having a mind on one's own starts

Loss of identity

Mass conformity

The roll of mass media grows

The display dictates the routine

There is information everywhere

Trivial or fundamental?

The line becomes thinner

Friends and relatives are networked digitally

The changes in the world affected the activities of the firemen

Instead of choking fires they start fires to burn the unlawful books

Like a circus show

People on the streets are watching the firefighters march out

The books are put on a pyre and then the fire releases

The stench of burning thoughts
