Lydia the Bard – Play With Fire Lyrics

Here we stand again as you try, challenge me
When will you give up and just admit defeat?
Really, it is just getting embarrassing watching history repeat

Cinder squaring up to an inferno
Dying flame and wildfire standing toe to toe
Brother just give up, why not return home?
My flames rise and yours has lost its glow

Oh, my sweet brother, don't you know? (Don't you know?)
Please don't flatter yourself, you were never a player in this show
Like a child you never learn
This kind of power must be earned (it must be earned)
Play with fire, and you'll end up burned

Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree
When I fell to the root, you rolled out to sea
So tied up with your honor and morality
Give up the fight and drink your tea

Just the spitting image of our mother
Weakness running in your bones, you're just like her
Why should I be kind, why should I bother?
Those same eyes said I was a monster

You can fear me just like her
I learned long ago that you can drown if you don't burn hotter
Can't be hurt if you strike first
So I'll crush you to the dirt
Play with fire and you'll end up burned

And so I'll burn so bright
A comet in the night
Casting out the light 'til there's none left
When you're raised in war, you either fight or run
A star will burn, that's all it knows, we don't hate the sun
In the end can I be blamed for all that I've done?

Blood thicker than water, I am a daughter
With fire running through her veins
I know what I'm made of, I'm what they're afraid of
The family sword, and you're the shame
So I'll be the devil, a demonic vessel
Bring out the brimstone, hellfire reigns, hellfire reigns
Hellfire reigns

You cower, an ember in coals, don't you know the extent of the power you hold?
The stars in your hand, sun at your command
We'll burn out this blight until only we stand
You're a sheep in the herd, a weak mind and weak words
You ignore those you serve, and you put the sheep first
So the field, we will purge, in the fire submerged, the impure will emerge
And we'll see them all burn

Oh, my sweet brother, take your turn
In the game of war, there are no rules and there are no terms
Come on, now, show me what you've learnt
You trip and stumble while I blur
Watch out brother or you'll end up burned
