Burn On the Water

from Royal Sampler by The Stink

/

lyrics

we are gathered here today
all thanks to a man who dreamed of a better way
he selected us, protected us, a debt we must repay
so now we hang our heads and pray
well, his name was angus, he was a fucking good man
now just an empty shell, he's gone
though his job was thankless, his vision was fucking grand
and so his memory shall live on

back when the world first went insane
he was the only man who tried to use his brain
he'd provide assistance to the misfits who were resistant to the strain
and he helped us through the pain
so we make a pyre - the best damn pyre we can make
and we place him up on top
and then we light the fire and push it out into the lake
stand back and watch it

burn on the water
burn on the water
burn on the water
from the shore

Angus Greggson was his name
he didn't cause this mess but he shouldered all the blame
he protected us and yet he was infected just the same
and now it's such a fucking shame

so we make a pyre - the best damn pyre we can make
and we place him up on top
and then we light the fire and push it out into the lake
stand back and watch it

burn on the water
burn on the water
burn on the water
from the shore
