The Fire God's Confession

 


CONFESS1

 This is the song where you find out why the fire-god inhabiting the girl's brain feels guilty...it's cuz fire was used in burning alleged witches back in Puritan days. The fire god feels all guilty and ashamed because the thing that he's the god of was used to do mean, horrible, awful bad things to people. As a result of that shame, he feels like he can't go home and face his friends.

The lyrics are:

Now I must tell you what
I have done – I'm a butt
And I burn all I touch
Now you'll learn very much

I was burning cuz I'm fire; But some people got inspired
To burn other people that they... think are witches and are evil

I am bad, now you know
Things get sad when I grow
With flames, mad, and I flow
Singing bad, here I go

I was burning cuz I'm fire; But some people got inspired
To burn other people that they think are witches and are evil

This song session is an expression
and a lesson in big confessions 
I am a god of fire, who wishes he'd retired
Before this thing got dire, and I am not a liar
When I tell you that these puritans 
Wanted to control women, with plans
To scare them into not talking to nature gods
And I'm included there; they used me – it's not fair

Yes, my flames did some bad
I have shame, and I'm sad
I can't go home again
Cuz I can't face my friends

I was burning cuz I'm fire; But some people got inspired
To burn other people that they think are witches and are evil

Here's another player thingy in case the one up there doesn't work on your portable electronic device:
