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
