World On Fire

A Cloud Of Ravens

Compositor: Não Disponível

Bleak skies hanging over us now
Scorched earth gathers under our feet
Soft hearts clamour still to belong
Our sinking ever bound to disdain
Remain, resist- gasp of a caustic mist
Remit, regain- to weigh release or pain

Turns the sullen eye, braced of stark denial
Ignore the failing breath of a world on fire
Amidst a heavy wind, looms a faith beguiled
Won't face the fading breath of a world on fire

Our grief, losses spent to the earth
An atmospheric stench of decay
Rise from deceit, defined of remorse
To tame this poison cost of delay
Remain, resist- gasp of a caustic mist
Remit, regain- to weigh release or pain

Turns the sullen eye, braced of stark denial
Ignore the failing breath of a world on fire
Amidst a heavy wind, looms a faith beguiled
Won't face the fading breath of a world on fire

An errant wisp of smoke
Raised from an ember small
Whose choice to breathe or choke-
As the fires rage?

Turns the sullen eye, braced of stark denial
Ignore the failing breath of a world on fire
Amidst a heavy wind, looms a faith beguiled
Won't face the fading breath of a world on fire
