Detroit firefighters are practically bracing for Devil's Night
That's the annual pre-Halloween arson spree
Last year, 281 blazes were reported
City officials are taking steps to find some to blame
♪
Intoxicated
Chaos brings a thrilling high
Falling leaves and house fire
The smell that says it's time
Incendiary
Accelerant speeds my blood
My pupils widen
As petrol fumes my lungs
Incognito
A grotesque mask hides my face
A hooded devil
Pours gas around your place
Tonight brings you Devil's Night doom
Watch as the flames consume
Lashing wicked in the sky
In fire you burn and die
The sky bleeds red with flame
A glowing hellish gleam
800 residential fires
On an 80's night 'fore Halloween
♪
Foul stench of sulphur
Match flash of violent orange
With no mercy and no regrets
I toss it to the floor
And set the home ablaze
Rats scurry through a fiery maze
To avoid the conflagration
Of their final flesh cremation
For this rush of noxious flame
Eases all the pain
Immolating
Another forlorn home
But not for some sick revenge
Just did it 'cause I'm bored
Incandescent
The city burns with violent heat
And all you hear is screams
Up and down each foggy street
Incineration
Vanish in the dark unseen
Thousands more just like me
Lost in a Devil's Night arson dream
Tonight brings you Devil's Night doom
Watch as the flames consume
Lashing wicked in the sky
In fire you burn and die
The sky bleeds red with flame
A glowing hellish gleam
800 residential fires
On an 80's night 'fore Halloween

The worst things Halloween has in store
Happens on the night before
The worst things Halloween has in store

Burn the city down
Burn your city down
Burn the city down
Burn your city down
