Bonfire

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 It doesn’t have to be November; it doesn’t have to be Bonfire Night.
It can be nothing to do with Guy Fawkes or his brave political fight.
Let’s build our own bonfire with a purpose and plot of a different kind.
A bonfire we’ll stack with corruption and all the lies that we can find.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 A bonfire built to be rid of injustice, let’s watch it all go up in smoke.
Injustice is the reason that many hearts after Hillsborough broke.
Let’s build a bonfire in remembrance, in all of the victims’ names.
We owe it to all concerned to ensure that corruption goes up in flames.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 This bonfire we can build at anytime and put all the liars on the top.
A bonfire lit by scousers with the message that our fight will never stop.
And when this fire is finally reduced to nothing more than ashes and dust.
I hope that corruption lies amongst its embers and in people again I can
trust.

Notes
