Fire envelops
All you love
Burns it
Kills them
Everything
dead
Fire
Fire
Fire
It lives
To kill
To demolish
And once it's done
The world begins growing again
Faster than ever
But
You're in pieces
Everything
You
Ever
Loved
Is dead
Gone
Just ashes
On
The
Ground
So do you stand up
And continue treading on
Or gather the ashes
And try to hold onto
What used to be?
