Library on Fire

[Verse] Quiet night books in rows Flames rising where the knowledge grows Pages burning smoke soars high Whispers turn to a chaotic cry [Verse 2] Shelves fall down paper flees Chaos dancing like autumn leaves Lamps melting knowledge boils History lost in fiery coils [Chorus] Oh no the library's on fire Books and dreams now burning higher Knowledge gone in smoke and dust All that wisdom turn to rust [Verse] Silent readers run with haste No time left for thought or waste Hot ash falls like midnight rain Words and stories caught in pain [Chorus] Oh no the library's on fire Books and dreams now burning higher Knowledge gone in smoke and dust All that wisdom turn to rust [Bridge] Stories sing in crackling tones Burning bright in wooden homes Words once rich now quick retire In the heart of the library fire
