I hear the siren
Drawing near
451 I am exposed

The salamander arrives
In front of my house
Before the door

The firechief
Armed with a flamethrower
Ready for a new procedure

He roars at me
Open the door
There's no way out

You know what's gonna happen now

This is your chance

Show me that you regret
You fatous fool
Books aren't necessary

They cause disorder between people
Disturbing the peace
Your wife is already gone

Do you want to lose everything?
For heaven's sake
Do you remember the girl?

You met her several times
We had to eliminate her


She was a nonconformist
And you are turning into one too
Take the flamethrower

Burn the books to ashes
Then burn the ashes


He hands me the weapon
I turn around and pull the trigger
The firechief turns into a human torch

He flares, he flickers
Then he breaks down
With the books put under my garment

I burn everything down to ashes
All the lies, all the insanity
To leave the corset that once was my life


She was a nonconformist
And you are turning into one too

Take the flamethrower
Burn the books to ashes
Then burn the ashes
