The best version of the song that fits this piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9o64xyjGWA It's a cover, but it represents this piece the best.

Some people are not going to like this realistic version of Asriel, but to be honest, it's the only way I could make this piece feel.. real.

I'm hugging Asriel, as he releases his pent up emotions over years and years. He cries, as I use my lightning, to set fire, literally to the rain to shield us.

Honestly, I wondered how I would depict these feelings or the song name in general without it seeming contradictory. Someone may aswell said, but aren't you just putting the fire out? Well...

I'm basically saying 'There, there, I'm here, you can show your true self to me. I will love and endear you. You can release all those feelings inside, as I set fire, to your pain.'

It's a piece about release, protection, love; comforting the grieving and some could say, the downtrodden and the damned. All at once.

God only knows how much I love Asriel, really. It's impossible to put it into words.

My friends who know me the most know I'm this sort of person anyway. I heal, or defend.

Song lyrics:

[Produced by Fraser T Smith]

[Verse 1]
I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark, and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they were strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet

[Pre-Chorus]
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win

[Chorus]
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name

[Verse 2]
When I lay with you
I could stay there, close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing is better

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win

[Chorus]
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
The last time

[Bridge]
Sometimes, I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now, when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you

[Chorus]
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
The last time

[Outro]
Oh, oh, no
Let it burn
Oh, oh, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn
