about

"Two men who were like brothers grew up on the hard streets of the Bronx during the 1980s. In their neighborhood were not many options, become a criminal or civil service worker. They joined the fire academy in 1990 where they would spend the next four years working throughout the city. Over time Frank started living a productive life with his wife and family while Mike spent his time frivolously and didn't see himself with much of a future. Eventually an envious Michael conceived a horrible plan to murder Frank and infiltrate his life. Years later the story would end in an abandoned factory where he would be confronted by the ghost of his dead friend."

lyrics

Michael and Frank were the best of friends they did everything together. Came up from their youth and survived the streets to join the academy. At the age of twenty-five Frank got married and started a family. You could see in Michaels eyes the envy he had for the man he called a friend. On a dark rainy night there was a high-rise fire in a slummy side of town. That’s when Michael came up with a terrible idea to burn his friend alive. They were alone inside on the thirteenth floor when he left Frank behind and jamming the door with a crowbar, he trapped his friend there to die. He could hear the screams as ran he down the stairs and made his way outside to continue his life, eventually Mike moved in on Franks family and wife.

Six years later on the anniversary Mike received a strange call from a voice he didn’t know. He said “I saw what you did and now we have to speak up in the Bronx at the old factory." Mike walked inside each step with caution it was dark and dank he heard voice from within “Come to the end of hall and we will finally meet I have something say, do you remember me? It was the brightest blaze he had ever seen, in a flash of flames there's a half skeleton with a fireman’s suit and melted skin grabbing towards Mike with a burning arm. He fell backwards onto the floor, a horrified look and crying out loud this was the moment his friend had a ghastly revenge, burning Mike alive for his awful sin. His charred-up bones was what they found of him, that’s the end of the story of the Fireman!
