The Flame Lyrics

Artist: Chimaira
Album: Resurrection

Her eyes opened
After that terrible night
Would she ever be the same
A revelation of her own demise
No one left but herself to blame

Her silence only fueled the flame

And now the angels
Have lost their wings
In Daddy's playground
Nothing is what it seems
This was the last time
That he'd see her
That he'd touch her
That he'd make his little girl scream out loud
I'm gonna pound you into oblivion
I will make you fucking bleed
There is no escaping me
This is your destiny

He came to her
Through the window again
The fan blowing to hide the noise
No hesitation from the devil inside
Everyone he touched was destroyed

His madness only fueled the flame

And now the angels
Have lost their wings
In Daddy's playground
Nothing is what it seems
This was the last time
That he'd see her
That he'd touch her
That he'd make his little girl scream out loud
I'm gonna pound you into oblivion
I will make you fucking bleed
There is no escaping me
This is your destiny

Time to walk with me
Time to die

Left me take you somewhere secluded
Where only the trees can see
If I can't have you no one will
Didn't you know it was always me
Your flame now burned out
You were Daddy's little girl
Your flame now burned out
Oh God what have I done?

Oh God... What have i done?

this entire album is amazing.
by Joe on 11/17/2008 8:32pm
it is about rape and kicking the shit out of the rapist this song gets me so pumped
by tim on 12/2/2008 4:12pm
ha ha no its not, its about a dude fucking beating his girlfriend to death, after raping her.
by twiztid_ditzwit on 12/5/2008 7:15am
i have to agree wit joe. the feeling is mutual.
by ppss. on 12/9/2008 11:56am
the song is about a father who rapes his doughter ( little girl)
by Matt on 12/14/2008 12:55pm
all wrong, it's about the programme twin peaks - the murder of laura palmer by her father. never seen it? you should, its quality.
by prox on 12/16/2008 6:14pm
i think the same as ppss. No fun to think about. but a fucking great song.
by orpharion on 1/4/2009 4:49am
The song is about beating his girlfriend and molesting her like her father used to when she was younger - basically, the boyfriend turned into the father, and beats her to shit. It's fuckin terrible lyrics, a pathetic attempt at being *hardcore*. Which is sad, cause the song itself is brilliant, the instruments are brutal and heavy and it's an awesome fight song. And don't bash me - i fuckin love chimaira, but they aren't amazing lyricists :)
by wes on 2/1/2009 2:45pm
you say "pathetic attempt at being hardcore"

hows that?

and terrible lyrics? what are you fucking stupid?

ALL CHIMAIRA SONGS AND LYRICS ARE GREAT
by iamthedark on 2/11/2009 6:56pm
orpharion, nobody cares what some fuckin retard thinks, go back to your hardcore greenday shit
by deadseed on 2/18/2009 3:59pm
erm orpharion? thats not it at all

its based on the film Fire Walk With Me

id say watch it but the song kinda kills the ending after the first three seconds of the film xP

love this band
by MtotheETAL on 2/20/2009 2:55pm
Yeah this song is about Twin Peaks Fire Walk with Me. Watch it. He "comes in through the window" and the scream at the start is sampled from the film.
by MetalHead on 3/15/2009 10:57pm
Shit shows what I know, hahaha, I thought the song was about some guy beating the shit out of his girlfriend(or some girl he knew) because the dad molested his own daughter. But still great fuckin song and Orpharion, I'm not gunna bash you but just wondering, what the hells wrong with you! =) these lyrics are the shit, it's pretty much hardcore and like iamthedark said go back to listening to your greenday shit mother fucker... have a nice day.
by rape on 3/23/2009 3:15am
i like a bit of rape myself :)
by aPerson on 4/12/2009 6:24pm
Actually, according to the Resurrection DVD, the lyrics aren't really based on anything but the music. Mark listens to the music, and he comes up with the lyrics that matches the instruments. He said he hated what he came up with for The Flame, and he dosen't agree with it at all. He thinks it's the worst thing to happen to a girl. But it was how he felt when he heard the instruments.
by Bob on 5/26/2009 11:16am

by oblivion on 12/7/2009 9:58am

by oblivion on 12/7/2009 10:01am
i agree with orpharion
by its me on 3/15/2010 5:38pm
this song it AWESOME!!!
by Nice on 3/27/2010 3:51am
They aren't the most amazing lyricists in the world but their songs are still badass none the less. This is one of my favorites...

"I'm gonna pound you into oblivion" is one of the fucking greatest lines ever!
by fabian on 5/5/2010 7:21am
sick motherfucking song,chimaira are kings in the metal world
by Deathcore <3 on 6/22/2010 1:25am
chimair is sick, who cares what its about just listen and enjoy, fucks sake
by FullMetalTim on 8/25/2010 7:32pm
I don't give a shit what the lyrics say or mean if Chimaira covered a britney spears song it would be fucking brutal and heavy!
by Ghhgjjchx on 9/7/2010 9:48pm
Time to die!!!! Awesome song!! Rape is disgusting but this song makes it sound badass, even though that's a terrible thing to say...
by james on 10/23/2010 5:18pm
Fuck orpharian you DUMB PIECE OF POO here's an idea for you fucktard, go out and buy the making of ressurection dvd, fast forward to the bit where mark describes what this song is about and where the influence came from, and then see if you look so bright and smart. Thick fuckwit. Reality is I shouldn't be singling him out your all as bad as each other.
by Huh. on 11/13/2010 11:30am
I'd say it's about a girl who's father raped her, and about beating the father to death, and then the last paragraph, the guy singing raped her for some unknown reason.
Essentially turning into the father.

This song, and this genre, is stupid.
by Antigod on 11/17/2010 9:17pm
Its a song about a father raping and killing his daughter, fucking idiots.
by plaguefan666 on 11/30/2010 4:52pm
huh you stupid. this song and genre is one of the best songs Chimaira has ever made.
by Devin on 12/31/2010 2:18am
Orpharion's explanation makes a lot of sense, there's no need for all the hate towards him.
and the lyrics are a peice of art, and are therefore open to different interpretation than the writer intended, orpharion just explained what made sense to him.
by Andras on 2/23/2011 4:07am
lol. You people can get into each others hair very quick about the smallest things. Guess the future generation dont know what metal is about. But chimaira is oblivion fucking awesome, maybe i should try to play the flame on my guitar
by Cora on 3/25/2011 6:07am
this song is freeking awsome i listin to it every morning before school
by Corey on 5/31/2011 9:30am
They're not really technical lyricists, but what they do best, is bring out emotion. I can listen to this song and just feel like beating the shit out of someone, whether I have a reason to be pissed or not.
by Masteroftimeandspace on 11/29/2011 5:40pm
Guys, guys, guys. Lets not fight over who's right. Lets just agree the songs amazing c:
by notalwaysright on 6/23/2013 9:49am
Ohh well i was way off. I thought it was about a father who beat his daughter cause the 49ers lost the superbowl.
by Ren on 5/31/2014 5:59pm
It's based on the series Twin Peaks, & the film Fire Walk With Me that followed. The opening sample is taken from the film. I can't say how without spoiling it, but it's directly based on it! Watch.
by MetalFatigue on 4/23/2019 10:52pm
Honestly to me, yea I know it's not the right meaning, but to me it's not the father but a boyfriend. I am a father of 4, and 2 of which are girls. My oldest daughter just turned 13 and it's kinda become my song of warning to her boyfriends.

And now the angels
Have lost their wings
In Daddy's playground
Nothing is what it seems
This was the last time
That he'd see her
That he'd touch her
That he'd make his little girl scream out loud
I'm gonna pound you into oblivion
I will make you fucking bleed
There is no escaping me
This is your destiny

Can't get any more of a warning then that. If you hurt her, that will be the last time that you'd see her, and you have just entered "Daddy's" play ground of aggression for touching his little girl.
