Burning Down the Landlord’s House Lyrics by Rail Yard Ghosts

Hiræth

2016

[Verse 1]
Well, we took [?] there
With our torches flared
[Refrain]
Oh, we set fire to the landlord's house
And we danced all night long
We danced naked under the full moon
And we danced all night long
[Verse 2]
And we took all the books
Had the lawmen run
[Refrain]
And we put them on the fire at the landlord's house
And we danced all night long
We danced naked under the full moon
And we danced all night long
[Verse 3]
And we took all the banks
And we stole all the bills
[Refrain]
And we put them on the fire at the landlord's house
And we danced all night long
We danced naked under the full moon
And we danced all night long
[Verse 4]
And we took all the pigs
And we slit all their throats
[Refrain]
Threw them on the fire at the landlord's house
And we danced all night long
We danced naked, covered in blood
And we danced all night long
[Verse 5]
And we see the light
Of the rising sun
Sweet sun of freedom
And we all sing along
We hum all the words
And we find the harmony
La la la la la la la la
[Verse 6]
Now a new day's gone
And there's ash on our face
All that remains of the landlord's house
What will fade to a memory
We took back the night
And we took back our rights
To our divine sovereignty
