The Tiger Lillies - Arsonist lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Arsonist lyrics]
I need to burn it down, my duty to destruct
When I burn a building down
Then in God I trust
I need to see the flames of
Hell dancing in the sky
Then my purpose is fulfilled happily I’ll die
To bring the flames of Hell to
Earth is my only desire
To have my fellow man burning in Hell-fire
So I bless my master and I bless my fate
That the power of his Hell-fire
I can here create
A granny and her pussycat their
Cottage I will light
And as they burn in agony
Their smell will me delight
Every time the flames their
Beauty does impress
And how I love the screams
The smell of burning flesh
Each time that I do it Satan does me bless
And it sends such shivers through
Me I get goose flesh if I burn a kennels
Those dogs they bark for help
How desperate are those dogs as
They bark and yelp or I’ll burn a cattery
Those pussycats do scream
For me their smell of burning fur
It is just a dream
Burning an old people’s home
Usually does work
So many are bed-ridden their
Rooms they can’t desert
Rid them of their misery
Rid them of their grief
Those old people smell their burning meat
I always try to pick on the mild and the meek
The defenceless I do pick on
Because they are so weak
But of all the delights the
Smells of burning flesh
The smells of burning babies is the
Smell that I like best
All those little babies in their cots asleep
As my flames do lick them
How shrilly they do shriek
Their little charred bodies in Hell
Their souls will rest
Where my master Satan each of
Their souls shall bless
When I burn a building down
Then in God I trust
I need to see the flames of
Hell dancing in the sky
Then my purpose is fulfilled happily I’ll die
To bring the flames of Hell to
Earth is my only desire
To have my fellow man burning in Hell-fire
So I bless my master and I bless my fate
That the power of his Hell-fire
I can here create
A granny and her pussycat their
Cottage I will light
And as they burn in agony
Their smell will me delight
Every time the flames their
Beauty does impress
And how I love the screams
The smell of burning flesh
Each time that I do it Satan does me bless
And it sends such shivers through
Me I get goose flesh if I burn a kennels
Those dogs they bark for help
How desperate are those dogs as
They bark and yelp or I’ll burn a cattery
Those pussycats do scream
For me their smell of burning fur
It is just a dream
Burning an old people’s home
Usually does work
So many are bed-ridden their
Rooms they can’t desert
Rid them of their misery
Rid them of their grief
Those old people smell their burning meat
I always try to pick on the mild and the meek
The defenceless I do pick on
Because they are so weak
But of all the delights the
Smells of burning flesh
The smells of burning babies is the
Smell that I like best
All those little babies in their cots asleep
As my flames do lick them
How shrilly they do shriek
Their little charred bodies in Hell
Their souls will rest
Where my master Satan each of
Their souls shall bless
