Arsonist's Lullabye
When I was a child
I heard voices
Some would sing and
Some would scream
You soon find you have few choices
I learned the voices died with me
When I was a child I'd sit for hours
Staring into open flame
Something in it had a power
Could barely tear my eyes away
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever
Tame your demon
But always keep 'em on a leash
When I was 16 my senses fooled me
Thought gasoline was on my clothes
I knew that something
Would always rule me
I knew the scent was mine alone
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever
Tame your demon
But always keep 'em on a leash
When I was a man I thought it ended
When I knew loves perfect ache
But my peace has always depended
On all the ashes in my way
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever
Tame your demons
But always keep 'em on a leash
I heard voices
Some would sing and
Some would scream
You soon find you have few choices
I learned the voices died with me
When I was a child I'd sit for hours
Staring into open flame
Something in it had a power
Could barely tear my eyes away
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever
Tame your demon
But always keep 'em on a leash
When I was 16 my senses fooled me
Thought gasoline was on my clothes
I knew that something
Would always rule me
I knew the scent was mine alone
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever
Tame your demon
But always keep 'em on a leash
When I was a man I thought it ended
When I knew loves perfect ache
But my peace has always depended
On all the ashes in my way
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever
Tame your demons
But always keep 'em on a leash
