False Fire
John Parish
For 30 days and 30 nights
Felt the lashes, could see the stripes
I know torment and I know it's like
But I won't suffer no more
False fire
Every night while I'm asleep
I hear the spirits talk to me
I know torment and I know it's like
But I won't suffer no more
False fire
Well I've tried whiskey and I've tried walking
But it don't stop those voices talking
I know torment and I know it's like
But I won't suffer no more
False fire
God talks to me
He said Your mothers love for your father
Was brief as the company of whores
When he questioned her about her love for him
She did her best to reassure
Swore she'd never love another
She must have bit her tongue in fear
Because another came along that night
Poured poison in your fathers ear
This murderer was clever
He could charm any girl twas said
He put your father in his coffin
And took your mother to his bed
I won't suffer no more
False fire
I won't suffer no more
False fire
