[00:00.00] 作词 : Simon
[00:00.00]A church is burning
[00:18.53]The flames rise higher
[00:22.94]Like hands that are praying
[00:26.74]A glow in the sky
[00:29.93]Like hands that are praying
[00:31.99]The fire is saying
[00:34.11]"You can burn down my churches but I shall be free."
[00:43.11]Three hooded men through the backroads did creep
[00:46.99]Torches in their hands while the village lies a-sleep
[00:51.45]Down to the church where just hours before
[00:55.86]Voices were singing and hands were beating and
[01:00.00]Saying I won't be a slave anymore
[01:04.59]And a church is burning
[01:11.49]The flames rise higher
[01:15.78]Like hands that are praying
[01:19.42]A glow in the sky
[01:22.37]Like hands that are praying
[01:24.55]The fire is saying
[01:26.42]"You can burn down my churches but I shall be free."
[01:35.10]Three hooded men, their hands lit the spark
[01:38.53]Then they faded in the night
[01:40.62]And they vanished in the dark
[01:42.58]And in the cool light of morning
[01:44.76]There's nothing that remains
[01:46.94]But the ashes of a bible and a can of kero-sene
[01:52.53]And a church is burning
[01:58.99]The flames rise higher
[02:02.92]Like hands that are praying
[02:06.53]A glow in the sky
[02:09.76]Like hands that are praying
[02:11.84]The fire is saying
[02:13.76]"You can burn down my churches but I shall be free."
[02:22.58]A church is more than just timber and stone
[02:26.06]And freedom is a dark road
[02:28.04]When you're walking it alone
[02:29.93]But the future is now
[02:32.21]And it's time to take a stand
[02:34.24]So the lost bells of freedom can ring out in my land
[02:40.01]And a church is burning
[02:46.36]The flames rise higher
[02:50.49]Like hands that are praying
[02:54.03]A glow in the sky
[02:57.03]Like hands that are praying
[02:59.36]The fire is saying
[03:01.22]"You can burn down my churches but I shall be free."
