Flames of the Free Lyrics
Flames of the free, just come and take me
After I burn it will be your turn
Ancient tales tell how life began in the ice and flames of the old world burning
Recent times tell of trial and error, the reign of terror will soon be turning
Cages of fear that the future holds nothing but our dismal past with a vengeance
Flames of the free, just come and take me
Out of deep desperation
After I burn it will be your turn
For the good of our nation
Flames of the free, just come and take me
Let me fall in the fire
After I burn it will be your turn
To be cast on the pyre
Worn out is your welcome when subjects would rather fry than linger
In a world of this heedless hunger desire for freedom grows only stronger
Burning is better when men have been utterly bereft of hope in the future
Flames of the free, just come and take me
Out of deep desperation
After I burn it will be your turn
For the good of our nation
Flames of the free, just come and take me
Let me fall in the fire
After I burn it will be your turn
To be cast on the pyre
After I burn it will be your turn
Recent times tell of trial and error, the reign of terror will soon be turning
Out of deep desperation
After I burn it will be your turn
For the good of our nation
Flames of the free, just come and take me
Let me fall in the fire
After I burn it will be your turn
To be cast on the pyre
In a world of this heedless hunger desire for freedom grows only stronger
Out of deep desperation
After I burn it will be your turn
For the good of our nation
Flames of the free, just come and take me
Let me fall in the fire
After I burn it will be your turn
To be cast on the pyre

I think this song is about the tyranny that Christianity inflicted upon the polytheistic religions of old, and now according to the song, it is time for them to rise again. It is time for Christianity and their "Savior" to burn on the pyre, like they had done to the Old Gods. Love this song.
