Arsonist's Lullabye Songtext

von Hozier

[Humming]

When I was a child, I heard voices...
Some would sing and some would scream
You soon find you have few choices...
I learned the voices died with me

When I was a child I'd sit for hours
Staring into open flame
Something in it had a power,
Could barely tear my eyes away

[Refrain]
All you have is your fire...
And the place you need to reach -
Don't you ever, tame your demon
But always keep 'em on a leash

[Humming]

When I was 16 my senses fooled me
Thought gasoline was on my clothes
I knew that something would always rule me...
I knew the scent was mine alone

[Refrain]
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever, tame your demon -
But always keep 'em on a leash

When I was a man I thought it ended
When I knew loves perfect ache
But my peace has always depended
On all the ashes in my way

[Refrain]
All you have is your fire,
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever, tame your demons,
But always keep 'em on a leash...
