[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."
