Strophe:
He´s losing control
dead man burning, perfect show
for all to see
he´s entertaining those who don´t believe

There he dies once more
although he started dying long before
you better come now
to witness a kind of murder we obviously allow

Bridge:
Men are evil, men are bad
they caused him pain and made him mad
he suffered wounds but all in vain
´cause little man is last in chain

Chorus:
He´s burning inside
and he´s burning like hell
a man in flames
he´s got something to say that words can´t tell

The centre stage – the perfect place
to demonstrate his end of days
but men are evil, men are bad
they let him burn and soon he´s dead

Strophe:
All too late
it´s not our business to change this madman´s fate
bad habits reappear
his desperate cry for help we couldn´t hear

We might remember him then
but he will never be missed, has never been our friend
not long ago
he could have given reason but we didn´t want to know

Bridge:
Men are evil, men are bad
they caused him pain and made him mad
he suffered wounds but all in vain
´cause little man is last in chain

Chorus:
He´s burning inside
and he´s burning like hell
a man in flames
he´s got something to say that words can´t tell

The centre stage – the perfect place
to demonstrate his end of days
but men are evil, men are bad
they let him burn and soon he´s dead

Middle part:
No phoenix from the ashes
no rising from the dead
no mercy from above
no compromise, no happy end

No miracle to witness
no given second chance
no final hallelujah
being worth this Devil´s Dance

Strophe:
That man in flames, converting non-believers
just didn´t care, we didn´t either
saved his anger, saved his pride
didn´t run away and didn´t want to hide

The lights are off, the game is over
he disappeared but I still smoulder
What on earth can move a man
to burn himself and vanish then?

Bridge:
Men are evil, men are bad
they caused him pain and made him mad
he suffered wounds but all in vain
´cause little man is last in chain

Chorus:
He was burning inside
and he was burning like hell
a man in flames
he had something to say that words couldn´t tell

The centre stage – the perfect place
to demonstrate his end of days
but men are evil, men are bad
they´d let him burn and now he´s dead
