Fire You Run Free

From the ash grey sky
With no birds soaring high
To the trees that used to be tall and green
Their beauty can't be seen.
Tiny specks of regeneration
Slightly fill the nation
A helping hand
For the flame-filled land.
The fire was a beast,
That swallowed the streets
But together we're stronger
Stronger than we are.
Fire is crying
Near and far
Because now the flames
Don't crackle.
And they aren't hard to tackle
Old flames flickering red
It's all up in your head
Fire, fire you are dead.
