about

The song itself is about fighting an internal struggle, an attempt to bury haunting memories,
and forget about a toxic individual who once shared your life. But the cycle just repeats and the memory never fades.

lyrics

Set it alight. Doesn't distaster burn so bright?
The crackle of the green leaves replaces the empty void of tranquility inside my mind.
As I chase you through the forest with a torch and pitch fork to hand.
You're screaming but nobody notices as I stalk through the branches
Keep one eye over your shoulder,
It’s too easy for me if you don’t see what I’m about to do to you
The adrenaline rush from the chase helps me see this through.
Don't slip now: I've no room for prisoners.
Have mercy? That's for beginners.

I've been through this
Scenario too many times not to know
People don't change

I've been through this
Scenario too many times not to know
People don't change

I've been through this
Scenario too many times not to know
People don't change

Set it alight
Doesn’t disaster burn so bright?
I'm accustomed to the carnage
of the blood bath they'll find
Set it alight
Doesn’t disaster feel so right?
The grim reaper’s assigned me
I’m one with the night

Set it alight
Set it alight

Set it alight
Set it alight

You should have just disappeared without a trace,
Vanished off of the earth with some grace, I’d have let it lie,
Your destruction wasn't even on my mind
But now you’re in my territory the only escape you’ll find
Is through the cemetery gates.
You better learn to run before I have the strength to walk
A plate of wounded memories feed me more and more
Quench a hunger I’ve had for a while
That sweet taste of destruction
That you found so vile
Has me salivating at the lips
Simply from the thought of this
By destroying the creator
Of this monster I’ve become.

Set it alight
Set it alight
Set it alight

Set it alight
Set it alight
Set it alight

Set it alight
Doesn’t disaster burn so bright?
I'm accustomed to the carnage
Of the blood bath they'll find
Set it alight
Doesn’t disaster feel so right?
The grim reaper’s assigned me
I’m one with the night.

Once again, I’m digging out shallow graves
Once again, there’s blood on my hands stained
Once again, I’m starring at your lifeless face
Once again, I’m digging out shallow graves
Once again, I’m cleaning up your mistakes
Once again, I’m dragging along these dead memories

Look at me,
What you’ve made me become:
I’m insane.

There are some things that I can't let go
You're a horror I can't bare to know
So let's end this today
It’s time for acceptance.
You deserve this sentence.
So I'll burn the woods to the ground
Watch your world turn to flames
You're circled now there's no escape.
How do you like my twisted little game?
Doesn't this seem familiar to you?
It's just like what you put me through
Now the shoe is on the other foot
It's not fucking funny when I cut
Deep with my knife like you did with yours?
Each incision lifts this curse.
The monster is appeased
Now you've quenched his thirst.
