Queen
02:58
|
|||
|
I drenched myself in kerosene
Let's see who all hails the Queen
Out of ashes I am pristine
You are blunted; I am keen
Over flint and steel I reign
There's not a soul who can contain
Tonight I ignite, so you should run
But promise you won't take anyone
This is the town where I've begun
There's something I still haven't done
Over flint and steel I reign
There's not a soul who can contain
City fire swept across the town
The news channel took the footage down
The arsonist wears a crown
Her enemies dead or in a hospital gown

Firebreather
03:06
|
|||
|
So you like to play with fire
May kerosene inspire
I am made down to the wire
I combust and then retire
Breathe
Your breath smells like smoke
If anything I provoke
The getaway plan, a joke
The fire escape broke
Breathe
I have many burns to hide
I'm burnt all the way down inside
The queen always picks a side
Antagonism was glorified
My downfall was my pride
I'm loveless and I cried
One day our flame just died
One day our flame just died

Arsonist
02:42
|
|||
|
A child lit a match just to see
The house caught, but she got free
She seems fine, though, doesn't she
That child grew up to be me
I'm an arsonist and a villain gone free
Where there's an explosion, you'll find me
I don't like him, so I got the kerosine
I'm pyrophoric, but what's that mean
I seethe like you've never seen
In this town, they call me Queen
I'm an arsonist and a villain gone free
Where there's an explosion, you'll find me
The damsel redeemed lights the match
Godspeed you as you catch
I think this may leave a scratch
You can think of this as payback

Rule of Nines
02:54
|
|||
|
You're smothering me I said
You put out the flame that spread
Stop, drop, and see red
I didn't do it, I just led
I burn to the third degree
I am a complete scar to be
A forest burned down for a tree
The townsfolk all blamed me
I said let the erasure go free
I am flammable; do not touch me
I burn to the third degree
I am a complete scar to be
My body is made up of nines
Like a ruler is made up of lines
An arsonist undermines
They think they know the signs

Fire and Brimstone
03:15
|
|||
|
I held my hand in the open flame
You can't teach me to be tame
I don't go by my given name
Kerosene Queen has no shame
The Wolf I let was to blame
Little Red was never the same
I burned down the only church in town
I was lost but now I'm found
Sirens blare, how sweet the sound
I am uncaged and hell-bound
I'm left with a gun and firewater
Son of a bitch? Well I'm her daughter
I'm a lamb that's already known slaughter
You play the dead cop and I'll play the robber
Kneel before the queen, my final offer
Too hot to handle just got hotter
I burned down the only church in town
I was lost but now I'm found
Sirens blare, how sweet the sound
I am uncaged and hell-bound

Clown Man
02:51
|
|||
|
He is nonchalant with all the lies
Clown man barely even tries
Clown man clan has to normalize
President dead would be no surprise
This is a cult and they worship the tv
This is the land of I'm belligerent but free
Wildfire sees the forest for the trees
Divine leader gets his hoax of a disease
Clown man went to jail for failure to concede
The truth began bleeding out about his greed
Clown man clan demands he be freed
Clown man clan buries the lead
This is a cult and they worship the tv
This is the land of I'm belligerent but free
Wildfire sees the forest for the trees
Divine leader gets his hoax of a disease
The news says amend others for us to unify
The news says bludgeon them to pacify
A witness died before he could testify
Clown man always buries the fall guy
Clown man tells hellions to stand back and stand by
I say you all should eat shit and die

Defector
02:50
|
|||
|
I'ma ringer who sometimes pretends
I burn every candle at both ends
I break while the enemy bends
There's a silence from traitors I thought were friends
Today you cannot depend on me
I am a conquered monarch to be
The redeemed damsel is no longer free
Today I am numb to the third degree
There's a fire in my belly, but a ways to go
I fought fire with fire and was burned head to toe
The night I lost, the sky was indigo
My saddest song played on the radio
Today you cannot depend on me
I am a conquered monarch to be
The redeemed damsel is no longer free
Today I am numb to the third degree
The sky was fire engine red
Like the town bathed after bloodshed
Long live the figurehead
Long live the queen that fled

Warfare
03:57
|
|||
|
They say I'll look back one day and won't care
A bump in the road or a pit of despair
I fight outnumbered in a life that's not fair
I was baited and you had to use a cross hair
They say show us your cards but I won't share
They say show us your bluff and I say where
I burned the bridges and saw the light
Explosion girl never goes out without a fight
I am the girl that came out of nowhere
Kerosene Queen declares official warfare
You'll look back one day in a nightmare
You'll look back one day in disrepair
Forgive our debtors says the Lord's Prayer
Deliver us from evil is what I cannot bear
I burned the bridges and saw the light
Explosion girl never goes out without a fight
So you can jot that down in your notebook I guess
I believe there is nothing more here to address
The Redeemed Damsel leaves now in no distress
So take care now, and god bless <3

Lone Damsel
03:33
|
|||
|
Don't fucking touch me, bad man
I'm humoring you because I can
Tied to the tracks with a plan
He saw the train coming and ran
I woke up angry today
The man said I have no say
The man said I have to obey
I yield because one day he'll pay
The lone damsel sits alone in her cell
Sending bad man warmest regards from hell
There's a loaded gun for every shell
There's a cheater for every tell
I woke up angry today
The man said I have no say
The man said I have to obey
I yield because one day he'll pay
I am the fuck-up, but I reign almighty abroad
And I will rain down on you like the wrath of god
I admit your way of warfare is flawed
It is your brave sacrifice that I must applaud

Fume
02:47
|
|||
|
They took my fuel and burned me out
What was her darkness all about
A lantern was dropped in route
I said you need me, there's no doubt
The doused girl has been consumed
The wildfire caught after it bloomed
The girl just sat alone and fumed
I am not myself today
I was the smoke that drifted away
Every enemy spoke hearsay
I am battered but you're still prey
The doused girl has been consumed
The wildfire caught after it bloomed
The girl just sat alone and fumed
Kerosene Queen rises from the dead
All the townsfolk had been idiotic with dread
Evaporate, accelerate, spread
Ashes to ashes, I endure instead
All the naysayers pled
All the champions fled
