Lyrics
She's the Great Destroyer. I've seen her kind before.
And you all just adore her. She has you begging [her, desperately,] for more.
That's Kali you're calling. Get off the line.
It's clear that you're falling and I thought you were on my side.
Here's the Great Destroyer just when i thought I'd escaped.
I thought our little war was over. Guess this is a much greater scale crusade.
That's Kali you're calling. Get off the line.
She won't see me crawling - and God knows, she's tried.
I swear I will watch you burn.
And I swear that I will watch you burn.
She's the Great Destroyer.
That's Kali you're calling. Get off the line.
It's clear that you're falling and I thought you were mine.
That's Kali you're calling. You've crossed a line.
It's clear that you've fallen and we're out of time.
Quotes
"Burn is my war song. It's not level headed. It's not about considering all sides to a story. It's not about all those shades of grey you have to consider as an aware adult. It's about pure, adolescent, black-and-white, one-side-against-the-other fury. I think we need that. You've got to have an adversary. And the enemy is always a woman. Women have a real social hierarchy. If you're in a group where the alpha female doesn't like you, that's it. You're never going to have a fun time. I've experienced that a lot. For a long time I avoided this kind of confrontation by supplicating myself before these women, and often these girls can be really destructive. I'd let them dance on my body all day. There's a reason female goddesses of destruction are so common. And Burn is about me deciding to fight back. I've got an axe, a book of matches and I think she'd look good in orange."
