lyrics

Fire!

Let the flames devour me.
From my head to my feet I am defeat.
That's what I am, feast for the heat.
A burning desire to set myself on fire.

To set myself on fire!

Unusual choice for a suicidal death.
Burning eyes stare at a melting past.
Skin turned to ash, bones fall as coal, dust in the wind.

My innards fry, as I'm left to die.
The air gets thicker. Smoke fills my lungs.
A final breath, my last desire.
You claimed to understand, all those wasted years.
Drowning in fuel, now I stand here.
Been devoured by my last desire.

To set myself on fire.
My face melts down.
A purification's starting.
I'm burning to the ground.
With no sound... sound!

Pal to foe, you've let me go and kicked me off the plank, my friend.
The past, erased and flushed away and you don't care as I become insane.

(leads: Felix)

To set myself on fire!

Skin!: Burning and peeling
Bones!: Glowing and melting
My soul!: Released from all anguish
Fuck off I am leaving...

...with a grin upon my face.
Through the fire I will escape.
The air gets thicker. Smoke fills my lungs.
A final breath, my last desire.
You claimed to understand, all those wasted years.
Drowning in fuel, now I stand here.
Been devoured by my last desire.

To set myself on fire!
Carburizing flame,
scortching up my brain,
do you know my name?

Now look into my eyes.
Can you see through my eyes?
Maybe you forgot my name,
but I hope one day you'll feel
the same!...
