Never will I allow myself to die in this dim zone
Though the snowy night freezes me to the bone
I will not expire this way all alone!

Come with me my selfish & cold community
As I warm your houses alongwith thee
You also deserve to burn alongwith me!

So rise now, oh match girl and show them your wrath
This is the moment to bring this town to its blood bath
Add pain, subtract life, multiply death, divide homes – perfect math!

Oh little matches, let’s begin with this dry barn – our chance
Let us confound these creatures from exit to entrance
Dodge with my army of flames as they try to advance

From house to house as we paint the town red
Like the fires of hell, like the blood of head
Like the wrath of volcano, like roses on bed

Burn! Leave no trace of this rotten civilization
This is the night of its fated extinction
Watch the Revenge of Match Girl in fullest demonstration!
