Below, you will find the lyrics for Arsonist’s Lullabye by Hozier.
Verse 1
When i was a child, i heard voices
Some would sing and some would scream
You soon find you have few choices
I learned the voices died with me
When i was a child, i'd sit for hours
Staring into open flame
Something in it had a power
Could barely tear my eyes away
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep them on a leash
Verse 2
When i was sixteen, my senses fooled me
Thought gasoline was on my clothes
I knew that something would always rule me
I knew this scent was mine alone
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
Always keep them on a leash
Bridge
When i was a man, i thought it ended
When i knew love's perfect ache
But my peace has always depended
On all the ashes in my wake
Outro
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep them on a leash
