[Verse 1]
Last night
I saw a fire burning on the palace lawn
O'er the land
The humble subjects watched in mixed emotion
[Chorus]
Who is burning, who is burning
Effigy?
Who is burning, who is burning
Effigy?
[Verse 2]
Last night
I saw the fire spreading to the palace door
Silent majority
Weren't keeping quiet anymore
[Chorus]
Who is burning, who is burning
Effigy?
Who is burning, who is burning
Effigy?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Last night
I saw the fire spreading to the countryside
In the morning
Few were left to watch the ashes die
[Chorus]
Who is burning, who is burning
Effigy?
Who is burning, who is burning
Effigy?
[Post-Chorus]
Why? Why? Why?
Effigy
