Your Friendly Local Arsonist - Tanuki

A FIRE

Moving with murderous intent in through my veins

CAUTERIZE

And close the split to sterilize what remains

THE SMOKE

That signals rise and meet the pardoners abound

ABANDON HOPE

This recovery won’t save another sound

We collect our loss

WE’RE SCATTERED ACROSS

And divide them among these greedy gods

To hell with the cost

Don’t look away-

As the flames wash over us

They mean to cover up the ones we thought we knew

Have no fear for the distant

They will take their place when it’s time

We won’t leave a trace

We will burn them all-

Burn them all alive

Cast a careless spell-

Conjure up their questions-

A morbid curiosity

With forensic eyes

These hungry hands of mine

Pull to pieces the mystery

So delicately

The gray will shroud

Every stretch of sky they dare to see

The rain will fall-

In shades of black

Because the dead don’t weep

DEAD DON’T WEEP

Don’t look away-

As the flames wash over us

They mean to cover up the ones we thought we knew

Have no fear for the distant

They will take their place when it’s time

We won’t leave a trace

We will burn them all-

Burn them all alive

It’s dangerous

It’s the closest that you’ll come

To an honest life

To living without the lies

It’s dangerous

It’s the closest that you’ll come

To an honest life

To living without the lies

Don’t look away-

As the flames wash over us

They mean to cover up the ones we thought we knew

Have no fear for the distant

They will take their place when it’s time

We won’t leave a trace

We will burn them all-

Burn them all alive
