Lyrics

This is a story about a man, his daughter,
& an unhinged cold blooded mercenary.
It’s about a young girl with immense power,
as her Dad struggles to find her happiness & safety.
the child is a “Firestarter…”

[VERSE]
Andy met Vicky in a government testing facility.
It was love at first sight.
They were willing human test subjects,
looking to make some quick cash.
The classified chemical compound they were injected with was “Lot-6”.
It gave them power of “telepathy”.

[B]
Their powers made them a government liability.
Andy & Vicky were always on the run.
They have a daughter, Charlie.
She is a FIRESTARTER!

[CHORUS]
She can boil minds,
Blow up cars,
Explode a life,
She’s a FIRESTARTER!

[B]
Vicky is caught and killed by the government.
Andy is heartbroken, scared & beyond sickened.
but he must keep their daughter safe.
They end up traveling to a secluded woodland cabin.

[V2]
After a year of not locating the father and child,
the government hire a skilled tracker & Korean War combat Veteran to retrieve them.
He is “John Rainbird” a brutal grizzled half American Indian man.
A persistent & strong individual. His long grey hair is tied back into a ponytail.
An old war wound left him blind in the right eye and scarred, he often dons an eye patch. He’s a big intimidating man from his head down to his feet.

[C]
Rainbird is on the hunt.
Rainbird is on their tracks.
Rainbird is on the prowl.
Rainbird is gonna find the,
FIRESTARTER!

[V3]
John Rainbird incapacitates them from a-far,
hidden by the shadows of the forest,
He was never seen.
The government is testing Charlie.
Rainbird begins manipulating her into a friendship.
Andy is separated from his daughter.
He is building a plan, to break out.

[C]
Andy is a mind worker.
A mind changer.
A mind taker.
He will see his daughter again. He will save the,
FIRESTARTER!

[V4]
Rainbird wants Charlie after the government is through with her.
He wants to expose of her.
His plan is to see her happy,
then kill her quick & swiftly,
while looking her in the eyes, consuming her powers.
He hopes to take those powers with him into the afterlife.

[B]
Andy is making a break for it.
He has the lēad agent under mind control.
Charlie is told she will be escorted out of the facility.
She secretly tells her friend,
“John Rainbird”.

[C]
Mind against Gun,
A Loving Father vs. A Mad Man,
Both get their chances,
Both badly injure one another.

[B]
Andy lay mortally wounded shot in the neck.
Rainbird lies with both legs broken,
he calls for Charlie to look him in the eye.
Charlie tending to her Dad turns to John Rainbird,
he takes his shot, but Charlie is the,
FIRESTARTER!

Andy out of ideas and dying tells his little girl.
“You gotta get away,
Charlie kill anyone that gets in your way.
This is a war Charlie, you gotta get outta here.
Do it for me baby, understand.
You make it so they can’t do anything like this again.
Gonna have to burn it all down, baby. Burn it all down.
I love you Charlie…”

She’s the Firestarter
