"That night in Prague was warm and loud

Old firefighters said with pride

Orchestra could not make a sound

Unless he burned it all around"

In the ashes, the orchestra still playing

To bid the farewell to the fallen soul

In the ashes, the trumpets blow fanfares

To celebrate the new Maestro's birth

Ashes in the sky

Adorned this grim October eve

Flames are raging high

As pillars are falling on their knees

Cinders cracking moan

In consonance with howling winds

Satan and his entourage

Just left this bloody feast

In the ashes, the orchestra still playing

To bid the farewell to the fallen soul

In the ashes, the trumpets blow fanfares

To celebrate the new Maestro's birth

Dancing in flames, we'll be together again
