Burning is burning. Meaning is meaning.


Pyro

Last night I had a dream
and in this dream
everyone was on fire.

Last night I had a dream
about the world so bright,
the people outside -alight.

Last night I had a dream,
and I wet the bed.

Last night I had a dream
that everyone was dead.

"And tonight this dream comes true
for as I watch and smile
you'll be burning all the while,
such frolicks across your hide,
As I lift not my finger
but instead my grin,
while I watch you burn
and pay for your sins,
while I watch you burn
to a crisp on every side
while I watch you burn
away for your sins,
while I watch you burn
tonight."

Last night he had a dream
and in this dream
he set everyone on fire.

Last night he had a dream
about the world tonight,
and all the people he'll set alight.

Last night he had a dream
and he wet the bed.

The flame became him
as he lifted his head,
they would never think to blame him
for his family's death,
it was death
in the curse of fire,
death
in the curse of fire,
death
in the curse of fire,
death
in the curse of fire...
