Hatred is like a fire
And can easily be spread
You let it fill you up inside
Hoping to burn away the dread
At first it feels like it's working
Cuz you're distracted from the pain
But the fire keeps on burning
Becoming difficult to contain
It consumes you from within
Burns everything in its path
Growing stronger every minute
Turning anger into wrath
Before you know what's happening
Hate has filled your core
The fire in you takes over
You think differently than before
You can't hold back your comments
And your actions start to change
You get mean to the people around you
And they all start acting strange
While you were letting hate control you
Everyone else moved on
Now as you try to put out the flames
Everything you had is gone
Surrounded by all the ashes
That you let your anger create
You finally begin to realize
The error of your metal state
The right thing to do is move on
And put your fury in the past
Only when you learn to forgive
Will you feel better at long last

Hatred is like a fire
And can easily be spread

Hoping to burn away the dread

Cuz you're distracted from the pain
But the fire keeps on burning

It consumes you from within
Burns everything in its path
Growing stronger every minute
Turning anger into wrath
Before you know what's happening
Hate has filled your core
The fire in you takes over
You think differently than before
You can't hold back your comments
And your actions start to change
You get mean to the people around you
And they all start acting strange
While you were letting hate control you

Now as you try to put out the flames
Everything you had is gone
Surrounded by all the ashes
That you let your anger create
You finally begin to realize
The error of your metal state
The right thing to do is move on
And put your fury in the past
Only when you learn to forgive
Will you feel better at long last
