The fire burns every goddamn city
I don’t know but are you with me 
As the buildings fall
I try to stave off it all
But I feel it encroach
Is it a subject I dare to broach
With the entertain
Will all these words have been in vain 
If I just spill them onto a sheet
Never being one to ever meet
Them in the public sphere 
I can sense that danger is near
And that if we do not shift course
The next generation will be filled with remorse
For what they have to face
They tell me to just fall into place
Fall into line
But I can sense the time 
Slipping away
And yet it is still today
Every day I wake
And I know I must do something for their sake
Before they die in flames 
With no one even knowing their names 
They say the end is fire and ice
But we can end the night
We face every day
Just stand with me, don’t look away
