I’m sorry,for the last time

Chapter 18: The world under the firelight

Chapter Text

The fire still burns bright and hot

But it used to be brighter

Take that last shot

Before the fire needs a lighter

 

The lighter had set fire to Earth’s nature

And when the lighter betrayed the flame

The fire was forced to mature

Although it was innocent, it became the blame

 

But now there’s no lighter to restart the fire

The flame would slowly die out

No longer able to see or admire

The flame without the lighter, has no way to flicker about

 

So the fire has to find a new source

Now that the lighter is out of oil

Find its own course

Without the lighter which is beneath the soil

 

Now the flame has to be a pillar

The flame that was meant to be free

In a suit, has to be the stiff collar

As the sanity in the Earth begins to flee

 

Maybe the lighter was forced

To set up the fire, time and time again

The elements that were scorched

Even when the light has died, they still are in pain

 

Well in the present, darkness shrouds

The entirety of the earth

There is no mercy, even in the clouds

The Earth's elements have never felt this loss called death

 

But the fire still tries to ignite

Even when its only remnants of smoke

The carbon monoxide feels like a bite

But no matter how much the elements break, the dead will never wake
