Books Cannot Be Killed by Fire Lyrics by Crime In Stereo

House & Trance

2023

[Verse 1]
Books cannot be killed by fire
Death is a noose hanging high
There is always a war, there's only light on one side
When they come to burn your library at night
Torches burning bright, look them in the eye

[Chorus]
Books cannot be killed by fire
Cannot be killed by fire
Cannot be killed by
Cowards ban the canon and we codify the archive and now
I cannot be killed by fire

[Verse 2]
Books cannot be killed by fire
Death is a noose hanging high
When they come to cull your school board tonight
Only thе word cannot be killed by

[Chorus]
Fire, cannot bе killed by fire
Cannot be killed by fire
Cannot be killed by
Cowards ban the canon and we codify the archive and now
I cannot be killed by fire
Cannot be killed by

[Refrain]
Cowards ban the canon and we codify the archive and now
I cannot be killed by fire
Cannot be killed by

[Outro]
High above death remains the word
The word cannot be killed here in the world
High above death remains the word
The word cannot be killed at all
