  • 作词 : Brandi Carlile
    作曲 : Brandi Carlile
    I have seen the firewatcher's daughter
    Watching fires burn from smoke to black
    There's nothing she won't burn
    From Styrofoam to urns
    To someone else's ashes in a sack

    You can scorch the metal
    You can even melt the glass
    You can pass the time here
    Fire lives into the past
    An all-consuming flame
    That refines and new begins
    It'll take your family heirlooms
    But it can take your darkest sins

    It's a good ol' bedtime story
    Give you nightmares 'til you die
    And the ones that love to tell it
    Hide the mischief in their eyes
    Condemn their sons to Hades
    And Gehenna is full of guys, alive and well
    But there ain't no hell for a firewatcher's daughter

    We exercise the demons of the things we used to know
    The gnashing of the teeth
    Become the remnants of our homes
    We think we're moving on
    From materials we long
    To forget we ever sold our souls to own

    There's a chilling absolution
    That we're given from our birth
    A powerful delusion and a plague upon the earth
    But nothing scares me more
    Than the stranger at my door
    Who I fail to give shelter, time, and worth

    It's a good ol' bedtime story
    Give you nightmares 'til you die
    And the ones that love to tell it
    Hide the mischief in their eyes
    Condemn their sons to Hades
    And Gehenna is full of guys, alive and well
    But there ain't no hell for a firewatcher's daughter
