The Fire

[sunlake1]

We carry the buckets

Across our backs

Our hooves, talons, paws sore

Gravel digging into our bones

And smoke hazing our sight

We carry the buckets

As your flames soar higher

Tearing the air and choking the stars

Incinerating stone, bark, dust

Until soot remains

We carry the buckets

And the world trembles

Crying into the void

Your fault Your fault Your fault

While your embers burn

Steam hisses and smog growls

Across our backs

We carry the buckets
