Fire!
I remember how the fire started
Slowly awakening every sense in its way
Lighting up a whole city
Have you ever seen a city rage before?
The heat, the heat, there was nothing like it.
Wind!
But nature is a tough thing to bear
Perfect harmony can bring perfect chaos
I remember the force of the wind that came
Spreading the fire beyond the walls of the city
Put it out! Put it out! Logic kept crying
I don’t know why, but I wanted it to burn
I feared the darkness and cold more than the heat and the light.
Water!
The rain wouldn’t have it and it started to pour
I’ll never forget how quickly it went cold
Blackness and ashes on a smokey horizon
In that cold darkness, I found the city gate
I took one more look at the bareness before me
Then turned my back and walked away
Even though I had lost a whole city
I’d always choose to fly away and inherit the sky.
