Erostratus

Lyrics

On the night of July 21st, 356 BC
 I, Erostratus, burned to the ground
 One of the wonders of the world
 The fabulous temple of Artemis
 Here in the great port of Ephesus
 I did it to get famous
 To thwart me
 The authorities stupidly forbade my name
 On pain of death
 Ever to be mentioned again
 The fools! That was my guarantee
 Of immortality
 Some tool in the 21st century
 Even as we speak is singing about me!
 And in your day I have many imitators and admirers
 My name endures, said Sartre
 "Like a black diamond"
