Текст песни A Church is Burning

A church is burning, the flames rise higher,

Like hands that are praying, a-glow in the sky,

Like hands that are praying the fire is saying

"You can burn down my churches but I shall be free."

Three hooded men thru the back-roads did creep,

Torches in their hands while the village lies asleep.

Down to the church where just hours before,

Voices were singing and hands were beating and saying,

I won't be a slave any more.

A church is burning, the flames rise higher,

Like hands that are praying, a-glow in the sky,

Like hands that are praying the fire is saying

"You can burn down my churches but I shall be free."

Three hooded men, their hands lit the spark,

Then they faded in the night and they vanished in the dark, Simon And Garfunkel - A Church is Burning - http://ru.motolyrics.com/simon-and-garfunkel/a-church-is-burning-lyrics.html

And in the cool light of morning there's nothing that remains,

But the ashes of a Bible and a can of kerosene.

A church is burning, the flames rise higher,

Like hands that are praying, a-glow in the sky,

Like hands that are praying the fire is saying

"You can burn down my churches but I shall be free."

A church is more than just timber and stone,

And freedom is a dark road when you're walking it alone,

But the future is now and it's time to take a stand,

So the lost bells of freedom can ring out in my land.

A church is burning, the flames rise higher,

Like hands that are praying, a-glow in the sky,

Like hands that are praying the fire is saying

"You can burn down my churches but I shall be free
