I'm made of fire
I'm so much better than you
fire in my belly, fire in my blood
if I ain't burnin' somethin', I'm no damn good
...
with swift lightning bolt, I set the earth aflame
an element belching forth you will never tame
there's nothing I can't burn with hatred's ample fuel
I'm made of fire, I'm so much better than you
...
only children play with matches but I'm no child
when I start to burn, I leave scorched earth defiled
can you smell smoke in the air? that's where you'll find me
baby I'm on fire, I'm hotter than Hades
...
fire in my belly, fire in my bones
if I ain't burnin' somethin', I'm castin' stones
...
my spirit has gone out into a darkened land
you can wound but never kill, once I've made my stand
I am the god of this and every age
a thousand years will never hold my rage
...
bow down all wretched people of the earth
bow down for everything your worth
pass the collection plate, I ain't doin' this for free
the pain will stop when everyone worships me
...
Fire from above, fire from below
I'll burn every one of you for show
...
you know my true name and yet trembling whisper not
I rain fire from above, maybe you forgot?
I give what you really want, hate your neighbors?
I'll do one better, burnin' them my favor
...
Let's make old school cruelty fashionable and cool
say ‘Hell No’ to lovin’ kindness and golden rule
if I say someone's bad, their bad, all facts be damned
hurtin' them and all whom they most love, my command
...
fire in my belly, fire in my bones
if I ain't burnin' somethin', I'm castin' stones
...
purify the land with flames, death the scapegoat's fate
And burn those who embrace whom we rightly hate
show no mercy to those who love to the full
nor condemn those who use violence to cull
...
this is our world now, our time to take it back
burn bridges to the new, restore our hateful past
baptize the land with conflagration and woe
the heavens pollute with poison plumes of ash blow
...
fire in my belly, fire in my blood
a match can light a fire or illuminate for good
