I have seen the firewatcher's daughter |
| [00:13.87] |
Watching fires burn from smoke to black |
| [00:19.34] |
There's nothing she won't burn |
| [00:22.18] |
From Styrofoam to urns |
| [00:25.06] |
To someone else's ashes in a sack |
| [00:29.25] |
|
| [00:34.20] |
You can scorch the metal |
| [00:36.14] |
You can even melt the glass |
| [00:37.97] |
You can pass the time here |
| [00:40.21] |
Fire lives into the past |
| [00:42.65] |
An all-consuming flame |
| [00:44.74] |
That refines and new begins |
| [00:47.13] |
It'll take your family heirlooms |
| [00:51.36] |
But it can take your darkest sins |
| [00:54.19] |
|
| [00:58.42] |
It's a good ol' bedtime story |
| [01:00.09] |
Give you nightmares 'til you die |
| [01:03.03] |
And the ones that love to tell it |
| [01:05.42] |
Hide the mischief in their eyes |
| [01:07.32] |
Condemn their sons to Hades |
| [01:09.41] |
And Gehenna is full of guys, alive and well |
| [01:13.54] |
But there ain't no hell for a firewatcher's daughter |
| [01:21.36] |
|
| [01:36.24] |
We exercise the demons of the things we used to know |
| [01:40.67] |
The gnashing of the teeth |
| [01:41.97] |
Become the remnants of our homes |
| [01:44.86] |
We think we're moving on |
| [01:46.65] |
From materials we long |
| [01:48.89] |
To forget we ever sold our souls to own |
| [01:52.78] |
|
| [01:55.72] |
There's a chilling absolution |
| [01:57.86] |
That we're given from our birth |
| [02:01.05] |
A powerful delusion and a plague upon the earth |
| [02:04.93] |
But nothing scares me more |
| [02:07.77] |
Than the stranger at my door |
| [02:10.65] |
Who I fail to give shelter, time, and worth |
| [02:18.82] |
|
| [02:21.91] |
It's a good ol' bedtime story |
| [02:23.45] |
Give you nightmares 'til you die |
| [02:26.71] |
And the ones that love to tell it |
| [02:28.60] |
Hide the mischief in their eyes |
| [02:30.85] |
Condemn their sons to Hades |
| [02:32.84] |
And Gehenna is full of guys, alive and well |
| [02:37.67] |
But there ain't no hell for a firewatcher's daughter |
