o'death
Fire on Peshtigo
O how had it filled the night with broken empty songHold onAnd made the night more hideous by their squawking callHold on, breathless airThe prairie just a cloud of smoke, horizon turning redO horror, breathless air, cradled child, dead tooAn avalanche of coals and cinder hurled against my willHold on, breathless air, lake on fire, land tooRunning with the river toward salvation in the pondHold onFather, do you think that the end is coming near?O horror, breathless airGod willed the flames we're fleeing in a panic but we're nearHold on, breathless child, lake on fire, land tooHold my arms with broken limbsThe flames upon them melt with touchBoat will ground us till we're foundAnd float beyond the state we're inLight salvation clear my lungsAnd fill the fields returned and lushCall the lord to cease his judgmentOf our human helpless sinO how had it filled the night with broken empty songLetras de cancionesAloneStepping on the neighbor that I once had seen as friendAlone, breathless airAnd robbing life of dignity to every desperate endAlone, breathless air, lake on fire, land tooWalls of fire, all consuming, reaching for me in the wavesEyes upon burning slowly it's left before me charred remainsAnd the god who pushed me in has ripped away my earthly fleshNow I'm bound for his last judgmentO my lord I must confess
