Death By Fire


You stole my innocence.

My childhood.

My happiness.

You took everything from me,

And you don't even remember.

I was just another girl,

Another thrill.

Today I take back my life.

You can have my past,

But I'm not giving up my future.

Today I burn you at the stake.

You'll feel my pain.

You'll feel my hatred.

You'll feel me take control.

I'll watch the life get sucked out of you.

Today you'll burn and hurt me no more.
