  • Verse 1
    have seen 
    the 
    fire 

    watcher's 
    daughter 

    Watching 
    fires 
    burn 
    from 

    smoke 
    to black 

    There's 
    noth
    ing 
    she 
    won't 
    burn 

    From 
    Styrofoam to 
    urns, 

    to someone 
    else's 
    ashes 
    in 
    a sack 


    Verse 2
    You can 
    scorch 
    the metal, 

    you 
    can 
    even 
    melt 
    the 
    glass 

    You can 
    pass 
    the time 
    here, 

    fire 
    lives 
    into 
    the 
    past 

    An 
    all-
    consuming flame, 
    flame, 

    that 
    re
    fines 
    and 
    new 
    begins 

    It'll 
    take 
    your 
    family 
    heirlooms, 

    But 
    it 
    can 
    take 
    your 
    darkest 
    sins 

    Verse 3

    It's 
    a good 
    ol' 
    bedtime 
    story, 

    give 
    you night
    mares 
    'til 
    you 
    die 

    And the 
    ones 
    that love 
    to 
    tell 
    it, 

    hide 
    the mis
    chief 
    in their 
    eyes 

    Con
    demn 
    their 
    sons 
    to 
    Hades 

    And 
    Gehen
    na 
    is 
    full 
    of guys, 

    alive 
    and 
    well 

    But there 
    ain't no 
    hell 
    for 

    a fire-watcher's 
    daugh
    ter 

    Interlude 1
    daughter 




    Verse 4
    We 
    exercise 
    the demons 
    of 

    the thing
    s we 
    used 
    to know 

    The 
    gnashing 
    of 
    the teeth 
    become 

    the rem
    nants 
    of 
    our homes 

    We 
    think 
    we're 
    moving 
    on, 

    from 
    ma
    terials 
    we 
    long 

    To 
    for
    get we 
    ever 
    sold 
    our 

    souls 
    to 
    own 

    Verse 5
    There's 
    a chilling 
    absolution 
    that 

    we're 
    given 
    from 
    our birth 

    A powerful 
    delusion 
    and 

    plague 
    upon 
    the 
    earth 

    But 
    nothing 
    scares 
    me 
    more 

    Than 
    the stranger 
    at my 
    door 

    Who 
    I fail 
    to 
    give 
    shelter, 

    time, 
    and 
    worth 

    Verse 6

    Let 
    the 
    good ol' 
    bedtime 
    story, 

    give 
    you nightmares 
    'til 
    you 
    die 

    And the 
    ones 
    that love 
    to 
    tell 
    it, 

    hide 
    the mis
    chief 
    in their 
    eyes 

    Con
    demn 
    their 
    sons 
    to 
    Hades 

    And 
    Gehenna 
    is 
    full 
    of guys, 

    alive 
    an
    d well 

    But there 
    ain't no 
    hell 
    for 

    fire-watcher's

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
