I have been burnt at stake before, like a witch on trial. The cloying smoke would always cut off my cries for help. I have been dragged through hell before, like a sinner brought to justice. The demons know me by name. I have been thrown into the earth’s core before, like a ****** sacrificed. The heat of the beast below whipping at my back. And in all my fiery encounters, I always knew with certainty, that the flames will see me die. But when I sit at your fireplace, it’s like I’ve never known fire at all.

I have been burnt at stake before, like a witch on trial. The cloying smoke would always cut off my cries for help. I have been dragged through hell before, like a sinner brought to justice. The demons know me by name. I have been thrown into the earth’s core before, like a ****** sacrificed. The heat of the beast below whipping at my back. And in all my fiery encounters, I always knew with certainty, that the flames will see me die. But when I sit at your fireplace, it’s like I’ve never known fire at all.
