I come to devour
Take life, leave ashes
I come to destroy
Bring an end too early

I am unquenchable
Dead in one place, live elsewhere
I am unstoppable
Impossible to catch

I threaten
Just waiting to strike
I terrorize
Planting fear in mortal hearts

Some would finish me -
I cannot die
Some would control me -
I erupt when I please

I am strength
I am freedom
I am fire
I burn
