Burn It All Down

confessor 1200pxAn ode to the annual desert festival Burning Man. The song talks about the winding path of letting go of the physical in order to connect with the spiritual. The eternal cycle of life and death applies to our every day experiences.

Lyrics

Let's go on down to the desert
Let's go on down alone
Let's watch the man in desert
You and me and morpheus in the motor home

Let's ride on out in the desert
Let's ride on out so free
Let's ride on out in the sunset
You and me and morpheus make the perfect three

CHORUS

Burn it all down
Burn it all down
Like the phoenix to the ashes
To the seed in the ground, yeah
Burn it all down
Burn it all down
Cause ya gotta get lost
Before ya get found
Aaaah, c'mon and baby burn it down
Yeah, burn it all down

Let's burn the man in the desert
Let's build a big bonfire
Cause you got to let go of the body
If you want to let go of your desire

CHORUS

Dust and ashes pure as air
Kissing lights and i don't care
Creatures from the dried out sand
Creeping out to live again
Live again, live agian
We all came to live again
Live again, live again
We all came to live again

CHORUS

CHORUS
