Doom

The little daredevil has found her little shrine
Peacefully she sits there contented and perfectly fine
In the distance she still sees the fire that once burned her
And silently she swears she will stay away forever

But oh, a little daredevil she always will be
With her curiosity burning inside so strongly
The same curiosity that once killed the cat
And oh if she only knows the story of this cat

One night the little daredevil needs some light
She's surrounded by darkness and in need of something to guide
She sees the fire in distance glowing so tempting
So hard she tries to hold back but it looks so fascinating

Blinded by a little hope, she forgets about her vows
The will to approach the fire quickly grows
Just one more time, she says
Assuring herself that this time will not she pays

She walks slowly closer to the burning flame
Reassured that the fire is now tame
She stops for a while, recalculating her every move
And finally decides that she needs to prove

The little daredevil charges ahead
With confidence, she’s no longer afraid
She touches the fire, she embraces the flame
And for a while she thinks, yes, the fire is tame

It’s a little too late when she realizes
The implication and the consequences
Little daredevil watches in awe as she’s burned slowly
While the fire eats her alive so calmly
