Fire

from Elemental by Hard Venom

/

lyrics

Ashes trickle slowly through
The clenched palm of the hand
That ripped the heart from the breast;
Proud, happy to have done its work.

Embers now lie in place of this void;
Burning slowly, seething, shedding dim light
Over the blackened hole whence it came,
Gradually expending its fuel.

Flames flicker, hungrily tasting the air;
Trying to sense its next source of fuel,
Willing to attempt any means in order
To extend its lifespan and never burn out.

Flashes of orange light cast shadows,
As trees and people are plunged into darkness
With but a single source of light
To keep dangers away.

Burning, exerting energy;
Feeding, slowly expanding;
Attempting to grow unchecked;
Slithering, in vain hopes of catching life.

Fire lies in place of eyes;
Insides burning up in pain.
Anger boils easily through
At the mere sound of her cries.

Yet death, sweet death?
That is torturous in its absence...
