Let me take your words from you today Tell me what you've always yearned to say Sing about the trials you have known
'Cause there will be a fire here today All you see will slowly fade away Into ashes, shadows and the mist
Make it quick, don't try to understand Trucks and hoses soon will be at hand Tell all that you know before you go
And I will write it down here in my book I promise you that I will never look Until the day has come when the fire starts
Libraries burn fast When they're in the past Once you leave all your stories will be gone Libraries burn fast They weren't built to last Flames of memory burn brighter than the rest
Libraries are burning Should we try to save them? What will we be missing?
Libraries burn fast When they're in the past Once you leave all your stories will be gone Libraries burn fast They weren't built to last Flames of memory burn brighter than the rest
