FIRESTARTER

80s, electronic rock ballad, ambient, ghostly singer

Lyrics

This is a story about a man, his daughter,
& the man that wanted to take everything from them.
a story of a very special little girl,
& her Dad’s struggle for their survival and to live a happy and safe life.
The daughter is a “Firestarter…”

[V1]
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.

[B1]
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!

[B2]
Vicky is caught and killed by the government.
Andy is heartbroken, scared and beyond sickened.
but he must keep his daughter safe.
They end up traveling to a secluded woodland cabin.

[V2]
The government hire a skilled tracker & Korean War combat Veteran.
His name is John Rainbird a brutal grizzled half American Indian man.
He is wise and strong. Has long grey hair tied into a ponytail.
An old war wound left him scarred on one side of his face
& blind in the right eye,
A big, large man from his hands to his feet.
He is sent to find and bring the father and daughter in.

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

[B3]
John Rainbird caught them from a-far,
hidden by the shadows of the forest,
He was never seen.
The government is testing Charlie.
Rainbird is manipulating Charlie 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!

[V3]
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 Charlie quick & swiftly,
while looking her in the eyes, consuming her powers.
He hopes to take those powers with him into the afterlife.

[B4]
Andy is making a break for it.
He has the lead agent under mind control.
Charlie is told she will be escorted out of the facility.
She tells her friend John “Rainbird”.

[B4.5]
Mind against Gun,
A Loving Father vs. A Mad Man,
Both get their chances,
Both badly injure one another.

[C.]
Andy lay critically wounded shot in the neck.
Rainbird lays with both legs broken.
Rainbird 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 a,
FIRESTARTER!

[CLOSE]
Andy out of ideas and dying tells his little daughter
“Try to get away if you can.”
“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.”
“Burn it all down, baby. Burn it all down.”
“I love you Charlie…”

She’s a Firestarter…
