The Stranger At My Door歌词

[00:00.000] 作词 : Brandi Carlile
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Brandi Carlile
[00:08.28]I have seen the firewatcher's daughter
[00:13.87]Watching fires burn from smoke to black
[00:19.34]There's nothing she won't burn
[00:22.18]From Styrofoam to urns
[00:25.06]To someone else's ashes in a sack
[00:29.25]
[00:34.20]You can scorch the metal
[00:36.14]You can even melt the glass
[00:37.97]You can pass the time here
[00:40.21]Fire lives into the past
[00:42.65]An all-consuming flame
[00:44.74]That refines and new begins
[00:47.13]It'll take your family heirlooms
[00:51.36]But it can take your darkest sins
[00:54.19]
[00:58.42]It's a good ol' bedtime story
[01:00.09]Give you nightmares 'til you die
[01:03.03]And the ones that love to tell it
[01:05.42]Hide the mischief in their eyes
[01:07.32]Condemn their sons to Hades
[01:09.41]And Gehenna is full of guys, alive and well
[01:13.54]But there ain't no hell for a firewatcher's daughter
[01:21.36]
[01:36.24]We exercise the demons of the things we used to know
[01:40.67]The gnashing of the teeth
[01:41.97]Become the remnants of our homes
[01:44.86]We think we're moving on
[01:46.65]From materials we long
[01:48.89]To forget we ever sold our souls to own
[01:52.78]
[01:55.72]There's a chilling absolution
[01:57.86]That we're given from our birth
[02:01.05]A powerful delusion and a plague upon the earth
[02:04.93]But nothing scares me more
[02:07.77]Than the stranger at my door
[02:10.65]Who I fail to give shelter, time, and worth
[02:18.82]
[02:21.91]It's a good ol' bedtime story
[02:23.45]Give you nightmares 'til you die
[02:26.71]And the ones that love to tell it
[02:28.60]Hide the mischief in their eyes
[02:30.85]Condemn their sons to Hades
[02:32.84]And Gehenna is full of guys, alive and well
[02:37.67]But there ain't no hell for a firewatcher's daughter
