The Arsonist

During the day
His life is calm
He walks alone in his hometown
He’s like a ghost among the crowd

But in the night
He goes out
Under the shadows of the dawn
The arsonist is back in town

Sorry I didn’t mean to kill
I was playing with the flames
And they burned down the place
Must confess it was so fun
To see the people on the run
When the town begun to burn

He plans to kill for many nights
Corrode and choke and terrify
Till he can spill
Revenge and rage

I saw the soldiers working hard
In search of clues that cannot find
He’s like a beast
And run away

See those bodies falling down
They make noise and burn in fire
People run for everywhere
The flames are trying in vain to reach the sky

Locals try to quell the blaze
It's not so easy to keep under control
The wind helps to spread flames and smoke
While he watches pretty calm

To the people who let him down
For those who called him a clown
It’s time to know the pain that he feels

He casts his anger on their beds
And remember those
Who treat him bad
He wants to wipe them from his head
