The Voice of Fire
1 The night was young and the sky was dark,
2 When the match hissed and let out a spark.
3 ‘Twas a weak flame, leaving little mark,
4 Yet it was the same flame that burned the park.
5 With that, the fire danced onto the trees,
6 Burning the wood and scaring the fleas
7 Burning down nests and killing the bees
8 Burning dens, sending bears to their knees
9 The fire spoke as if the Devil was speaking
10 “I will bathe in your fear and I will leave you bleeding,”
11 “I will destroy it all and I will leave you screaming”
12 “I will leave it in ashes and I will leave you weeping”
13 The flame’s wrath was like a hundred blades,
14 Cutting through the wood, leaving it decayed
15 Started as a spark, no one expected its invade
16 Ended as as ashes, left everyone afraid
