You Will Burn - Steeleye Span

We will be kneeling at your bedside

We’ll pray for your soul like the good Lord said

Let all be forgiven let none be denied

Then one night as you sleep in your goose feather bed

We will be standing at your bedside

Your bones will be broken and your blood will be shed

Your eyes will be taken and your hands will be tied

Then we’ll take you to the forest

Where none will hear your cry

And we’ll cut down the Sycamore and Broom

And it’s there we will forgive you

And it’s there we’ll watch you die

Like a dancing silhouette against the moon

And you will burn, you will burn

We will purify your soul in the fire, in the fire

And your spirit will live forever

It will rise, it will rise

From the ashes and the embers in your eyes, in your eyes

And your spirit will live forever

Praise the Lord

Another soul is saved

Praise the Lord

Praise the Lord

One night as you sleep in your goose feather bed

We will be kneeling at your bedside

We’ll pray for your soul like the good Lord said

Let all be forgiven let none be denied

Then one night as you sleep in your goose feather bed

We will be standing at your bedside

Your home will be burning and your child will be dead

Your eyes will be taken and your hands will be tied

Then we’ll take you to the forest

Where none will hear your cry

And we’ll cut down the Sycamore and Broom

And it’s there we will forgive you

And it’s there we’ll watch you die

Like a dancing silhouette against the moon

And you will burn, you will burn

We will purify your soul in the fire, in the fire

And your spirit will live forever

It will rise, it will rise

From the ashes and the embers in your eyes, in your eyes

And your spirit will live forever

Praise the Lord

Another soul is saved

Praise the Lord

Praise the Lord

Praise the Lord

Another soul is saved

Praise the Lord

Praise the Lord
