Key: Dm

Verse 1:

Dm                      C
Forget not the days of old
                        Dm
And recall the stories told
                          C
Of the burnings and the screams
                           Dm
Do they ever haunt your dreams?
C Dm

Dm                             C
There was a time when freedom died
                     Dm
It was an age of genocide
                         C
The Inquisition at the door
                             Dm
The Church of Rome in a holy war
C Dm

Dm                            C
They broke children on the wheel
                         Dm
In the madness of their zeal
                         C
In the shadow of their wake
                              Dm
The innocent burning at the stake


Chorus:

F        C        Dm                    Bb
Children resist a return to the burning times
F      C       Dm                    Bb
People be wise to the power of their lies
F      C      Dm                       Bb
Be not fooled as those who were fooled before
F         C            Dm       Bb
Children, oh children, be free, be wild


Verse 2:

Dm                            C
They came to bring the ‘good news'
                          Dm
To burn witches, pagans, Jews
                               C
Said they were the Shepherd's sheep
                               Dm
Whipped old women through the streets
C Dm

Dm                       C
Then the turning of the tide
                               Dm
From the truth they could not hide
                          C
Now the darkest age has passed
                             Dm
The Goddess has returned at last
C Dm

Chorus:

F        C        Dm                    Bb
Children resist a return to the burning times
F      C       Dm                    Bb
People be wise to the power of their lies
F      C      Dm                       Bb
Be not fooled as those who were fooled before
F         C            Dm       Bb
Children, oh children, be free, be wild
