Burning, burning, burning.
My whole life crashing down on me.
Destruction, torture, pain,
All of which I can see.
Confusion, dread, loss,
Chaos all around,
Deadly, murderous fires,
Drying up the ground.
Mother nature,
Taking her revenge,
Trying to live her best life,
Will she be avenged?
In the wake of all this madness,
Lives a little bit of hope,
A spark of joy, a flick of light,
Is it enough to cope?
