Fire On Peshtigo |
O how had it filled the night with broken empty song |
Hold on |
And made the night more hideous by their squawking call |
Hold on, breathless air |
The prairie just a cloud of smoke, horizon turning red |
O horror, breathless air, cradled child, dead too |
An avalanche of coals and cinder hurled against my will |
Hold on, breathless air, lake on fire, land too |
Running with the river toward salvation in the pond |
Hold on |
Father, do you think that the end is coming near? |
O horror, breathless air |
God willed the flames we’re fleeing in a panic but we’re near |
Hold on, breathless child, lake on fire, land too |
Hold my arms with broken limbs |
The flames upon them melt with touch |
Boat will ground us till we’re found |
And float beyond the state we’re in |
Light salvation clear my lungs |
And fill the fields returned and lush |
Call the lord to cease his judgment |
Of our human helpless sin |
O how had it filled the night with broken empty song |
Alone |
Stepping on the neighbor that I once had seen as friend |
Alone, breathless air |
And robbing life of dignity to every desperate end |
Alone, breathless air, lake on fire, land too |
Walls of fire, all consuming, reaching for me in the waves |
Eyes upon burning slowly it’s left before me charred remains |
And the god who pushed me in has ripped away my earthly flesh |
Now I’m bound for his last judgment |
O my lord I must confess |
