[Verse]
AmI have seen the Dmfirewatcher’sAm daughter.
Amwatching fires bDmurn from smoke to Amblack.
there's Fnothing she won't Gburn, from CStyroG/Bfoam toAm urns.
to Esomeone else's ashes in a Amsack... (..oh god i love her)

[Verse]
AmYou can scorch the mDmetal, you can Ameven melt the glass.
FYou can pass the time here, fire Amlives into the past
An aGll-consuming flame, that rCefines andG/B new Ambegins
It'll Etake your family heirlooms, but it can take your darkest sAmins
It's a Fgood ol' bedtime story, give you Amnightmares 'til you die
And the Gones that love to tell it, hide the Ammischief in their eyes
GCondFemn their sons to Hades
And GeheCnna is fG/Bull of guys, alive and Dmwell
But there ain't no Ehell for a firewatcher's daughAmter
[Bridge]
AmwooDmoooAmooo

[Verse]
We eAmxercise the Dmdemons of the Amthings we used to know
The Fgnashing of the teeth become the Emremnants of our homes
We Gthink we're moving on, from mateCrials G/Bwe longAm
To Eforget we ever sold ourAm souls to own
There's a cAmhilling absoluDmtion that we're gAmiven from our birth
A Fpowerful delusion and a Amplague upon the earth
But Gnothing scares me more
Than the CstrangerG/B at my dAmoor
Who I Efail to give shelter, time, Amand worth
It's a Fgood ol' bedtime story, give you Amnightmares 'til you die
And the Gones that love to tell it, hide the Ammischief in their eyes
CondeFmn their sons to Hades
And GeheCnna is fulG/Bl of guyAms, alive and wDmell
But there ain't no Ehell for a firewatcher'Ams daughter
