we stood on the hills as the sun slowly rose
with tear stained cheeks and blood on our clothes
i realized the ring of burning trees
and we watched in despair as it bled out its leaves

in desperation we fled looking for salvation...there was none

a sudden gust cleared the smoke
and the earth shook violently, we started to choke
it was the end of the world,
we were the last to go
i took your hand, i wanted you to know
i'll forever love you, as we lay here in rest
i loved you in life, i will love you in death.
