  • Catch a fire and burn all the misery
    Foul fingers spin my mentality
    Anger on the rise as the flames grow higher
    Took on the smoke of the funeral pyre, backfire

    Killing all we've learned
    History will burn, burn it

    Smile as it burns to the ground
    The perfect don't want you around
    Question yourself, you may learn
    Who's the next witch you must burn?
    You must burn

    In the name of hell, it's been to conspire
    Black figures loom as a dark desire
    Inquisition your derailment
    Tied to the stake, torching heresy, flame out

    Killing all we've learned
    History will burn, burn it

    Smile as it burns to the ground
    The perfect don't want you around
    Question yourself, you may learn
    You are the witch you must burn
    You must burn

    In the heat of the night
    And the motion, light, feed the appetite
    In the heat of the night
    And the motion, light, feed the appetite

    Smile as it burns to the ground
    The perfect don't want you around
    Question yourself, you may learn
    You are the witch you must burn
    You must burn

    You must burn
    You must burn
    You must burn Writer/s: James Alan Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Robert Augustine Trujillo
