A Fire

A fire kills a country, a fire kills a land
A forever raging inferno
Turning bone to sand

A fire knows no mercy, a fire knows no kind
A red hot wave of hunger
Searching to never find

A fire fells the forest,a fire hunts the meek
An enternal spreading ocean
Devouring all that's weak

A fire thrives in wa, a fire thrives in blood
A leech that feeds on hate
Quashing peace to mud

A fire kills a country, a fire that is damned
A forever raging inferno
A fire we call man
