Rejoicing in rain blue skies heaven sent hopeful souls dance for a moment, reborn
But what souls still cry for shelter from the storm? what souls have left us to mourn?
Cloak yourself in faith, my dear steel your heart with joy we know not what the future brings but it will find us here
Sweep away the ashes, child make an altar for the bones what horrors careless men have wrought are finally coming home
Soften your heart to the pain, child find solace in new songs let fires burn away the past but never forget its wrongs
We harvest our grief under ashen skies sun hidden from our eyes hearts choked with fear grasping hands worn rough with hope
We hold each other close
We pray to the fire to take a rest to return our song-filled breath to find its peace with what's been done and let our souls burn in its stead
Did you ever imagine in all the things that could go wrong that nature itself would turn your air into poison?
The factories can be stopped the cars can be turned off but the fire will just burn until it is full the wind will just blow as it pleases and there is no where else to go
