Girl on Fire
from “Crimes” - SATB a cappella divisi - Original text - English - Hard
“A girl in a forest thirsty and tired.
Searching for water, running from the fire.
The life she burned away was vanishing through the flames.
Everything has turned gray and nothing else remains.
She is the victim; she is the killer. Her memories are just flashes.
The family she once had now rests beneath the ashes.
As the girl runs, her legs get tired. She looks back, the sadness wins.
And the tears of regret quenched the thirst.
Now she is running towards the fire so she can be punished by her sins
She is no longer pure, she is cursed.
She prayed, she begged. But in the end, there was just fire.
Her dreams and wishes got lost because God is a liar.”
