lyrics

the wind of victory fills the air
fire whiskey all around
Krum may have caught the snitch
but 150 won't get past the Irish win
the black sky paints the ground

You Celebrated with your friend
Collect the winnings you put in
turn away your drunken grin
because no one saw them come,
the night they burned it down

You turn in for the night
take one last look at the ground
tents hoisted as tall as the trees
your skin tenses from the breeze
and something don't seem right

You Celebrated with your friend
Collected the winnings you put in
you turn away your drunken grin
when you saw them come,
the night they burned it down

smoke and screams fill the air,
breaking glass and shrieking sounds
running for a place to hide
like rats in a boats underside
as fire spreads all around

nothing remains but smokey air
the mark above us starring down
the ministry comes to my call
they question one and they question all
among the ass and the rubbled ground

the fear of rising up again
terror reigns in our hearts now
this is where it all began
the night they came in
the night burned it down

With You, Whatever Happens
by Lauren Fairweather

supported by 12 fans who also own “The Night They Burned It Down”

A long-awaited wizard rock album from a pioneer of the wrock community. Mostly wrock, but there are some other nerdy songs thrown in, though they don't disrupt the cohesion. Lauren is always awesome, and if you liked her previous music, you will enjoy this fuller sound even more. yourwizardrockresource
