It is a great song and I can't wait to perform that live.

Firestarter
Sepultura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm the trouble starter, punkin' instigator
I'm the fear addicted, a danger illustrated

I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter
You're a firestarter, twisted firestarter

I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter

I'm the bitch you hated, filth infatuated, yeah
I'm the pain you tasted, fell intoxicated

I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter
You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter

I'm the self inflicted, mind detonator, yeah
I'm the one infected, twisted animator

I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter
You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter

I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter starter

It's not a copy! It's a cover! There is a big difference!!! A copy is imitation whereas a cover is a tribute where the band who is covering the song puts there own personal spin on it. If it was exactly the same as the original there would be no point, it would be plagiarism, whereas this is a metal version of a Prodigy song. So just enjoy both!

what an interesting thing that metal and rock bands covered a rave/big best song (KISS, Jimmy Eat World, Gene Simmons). both versions are great honestly between this and the original.

So... 4648 and Firestarter is the same song? I don't have the bonus tracks, but I have this song (2 songs in one) and on Wikipedia, it has both 4648 and Firestarter. My tracks just say traccia 14 and traccia 15. I've been confused about this for years now.

@Faustblix Like I said its not bad. Certainly better than Gene Simmons cover. I like this cover, and even get this version stuck in my head. The Prodigy is my favorite band too. But when I listen to the Prodigy's version there's nothing compares to the original.
