Well, you can’t put fire out with fire
The more you try to stomp, it blazes higher
Not a single ounce of care, you let it spread
Now grinning through the smoke
Straight to the head
Reality is melting
It drips with the stench of the deceased
A puddle of twisted carbon sits
Beneath your molten feet
You stole fire from a god who stole fire from the gods (Arrogance and flair)
Karma doesn’t care, no
Every bit of light around you is blackened
It’s a wonder you don’t know how it happened
Burn out
Burn out, burn out
You can’t slow down
Raze the crown
Burning out, burn out
You can’t slow down
Can you swallow it down?
Tremors
Shredding, flaying
The heavens attack
Sulfur rain, melt the brain
(You burn and you burn and you burn up)
You’re dead already
You’re dead already
You’re dead but nowhere near the end
Well, you can’t put fire out with fire
The more you try to stomp, it blazes higher
Not a single ounce of care, you let it spread
Now grinning through the smoke
Straight to the head
So, burn out, burn out
You can’t slow down
Raze the crown
Burning out, burn out
You can’t slow down
Can you swallow it down?

Heaven On High
Black sky, the birds, they fly I see it all, we flee it all We flock together They move past The lighthouse flies south, the clouds Can see the ground, can hear the sound …
Malevolent
Abandoned space of forgotten faces Scream-soaked halls, the resting place left Pictures framed, but the time erased them Walls rot out A home forsaken A portrait bleeding …
