Bloc Party - An Act of Contrition lyrics

They're burning books and they're burning kids Jesus says that it's okay We're mired, votive candles, say a prayer release me The Lord says, wait upon me, it's not easy It's not found in flowers, hoping for catharsis If you just had faith, you'd stop crying, say a prayer release me We resist You're not making any friends We got heat, we got bonfires Learn to die a little everyday We got something to believe in
