Warning: Temper!
You've lit the match,
Sparked the fire,
Ignited the rage and fury inside of me.
Unleashed the anger and frustration
I've been holding.
You keep taunting me,
Poking me,
You're keeping the fire alive.
Please don't add anymore fuel,
I want the angry flames to die.
Your first try should have been your last,
I told you that from the start.
Now my anger has risen -- so have the flames!
There is no one else but you to blame.
You saw the caution signs:
WARNING: TEMPER!
That should have told you
My flame has no mercy.
Now you're burned,
Burned to ashes,
Never to come back.
I'm glowing...waiting for the next victim.
