Lyrics

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