Fire in the Refectory

by @TheJester

Now the monks set fire to the holy texts Let it burn as so did our souls and passions Now the monks are drinking wine from the vineyards Each sip sweeter than the last, each sip sweeter than the last. Do not as we do for we've given all we have and now we watch the flames engulf it. Now we set fire to the pages to prove that we're men of faith and not just printed sages. Holy fire ring out the bell, child let there be one final prayer. Set here in our old ways, watch as we let the fire take us I say bonfire child some and join the dance. Come and join the dance
