Firetrap

Come back in the winter
Won't steal away too long
And when I'm back I'll set it all ablaze
Got Jesus in my pocket
And matches in my coat
I won't have to work alone this time

From the trees upon the hill top
I'll watch the old house close
You can guard your back but my patience will be endless
And all your stiff-jaw quiet, won't conceal what you have done
You warned us all to sell or pay the price

Now I wanna burn, I wanna burn
Not only you can burn

The newspaper and TV fools came trudging 'cross our fields
Said the shots that killed my brother came from his own hand
But that don't explain the tire tracks that came down from your house
To make it look like suicide had always been your plan

Now I wanna burn, I wanna burn
Not only you can burn
I wanna burn this signal fire, I wanna burn this firetrap
Not only you can burn
And it belongs to me now
Right or wrong

I'll come back in the winter
On a trail of no remorse
And my footprints will get covered by the frozen snow
And no one in your family, will talk of me again
Flames will die, and silence will return

Now I wanna burn, I wanna burn
Not only you can burn
I wanna burn this signal fire, I wanna burn this firetrap
Not only you can burn
And it belongs to me now
Right or wrong
And it belongs to me now
Right or wrong
