You thought it was gone But the fire goes on And I thought you knew me I told you before 'Til I settle the score That I'll never run free I have enough pain and anger in my brain To last many lifetimes Yet still it grows, and the more that it shows I won't have peace of mind The fire, the fire still burns I have a dream And as strange as it seems There's no embers glowing The fire's gone out and there's no need to shout 'Cause no anger's showing But it's not true, nothing I ever do Seems to ease my fury Get out of my way I'm the hangman today And the judge and jury The fire, the fire still burns

    General Comment:I think it's about how this person has tried to lock away his anger and frustrations from the world so that they would not get in the way of living a normal life and has attempted to make peace within himself, but shit keeps hitting him in the face and he can't ignore it any longer. His breaking point has come and it's time for revenge. He will get back at anyone and everyone who has or will cause him agony.
