As the Monster approaches

The world gets brighter, more red
Something is happening
in the outside world
My baby wombats start to cry
As the fire approaches
As the monster approaches
Fire crackles, sparks
Trees fall, one by one
The smell of burnt leaves feels like ash
Crackling like a thousand volts
As the monster approaches
I make my escape
With my familiars and friends
The monster eats up the world
Tearing it apart like a chainsaw
As the monster approaches
World gets Smaller
And Smaller
Smaller
Until we're trapped in a ring of fire
