[VERSE 1]

 

I’ll blame it on the fire

Blame it on my own two bloody hands

Ephemeral desire

Gives a sinner back his final chance

 

He’s singing hallelujah

He doesn’t even know the joke’s on him

He left a present for her

A cup of venom spilling past the brim

 

And if I tremble in the 

Face of all the wretched shit I’ve done

The devil laughs and firmly 

Grasps the mortal soul that he has won

 

[CHORUS]

 

He’s laughing all the way home

He’s laughing in his castle down in Hell

He’s got a prison for me

He’s waiting for his chance to toll the bell

 

So blame it on the fire

Blame it on a fucking necromance

My heart’s perverse desire

Has led me to perform this deadly dance

 

[VERSE 2]

 

She left me for another

She left me broken, tore me limb from limb

No lightning and no thunder

She’s saving all her brilliancy for him

 

[CHORUS]

 

He’s laughing all the way home

He’s laughing ‘cause he knows he’s claimed the prize

He doesn’t really know her

He doesn’t see the cruelty in her eyes

 

So place me on a pyre

Burn me up until there’s nothing there

My heart’s destroyed desire

Has left me no capacity to care

 

[BRIDGE]

 

Should I play my part

And slay the one who killed my heart?

 

Should I draw that knife

And end the one who took my life?

 

[CHORUS]

 

And I’ll come out and tell ya

I slit her throat and threw her in the breach

Olivia Robella

Sleepin’ now where no one’s voice can reach

 

So blame it on the fire

Blame it on a fucking necromance

My heart’s corrupt desire

Has led me to forsake my final chance

 

[VERSE 3]

 

I never thought I’d lose her

I never thought I’d drop her hand again

But I’m just an abuser

Crimson ink is dripping from my pen

 

I’d blame it on the fire

Blame it on her infidelity

But I’d be such a liar

The only devil in this dance is me

 

[OUTRO]

 

Can’t forget her scream

And I’ll never kill that dream
