The fire swept, blackened hills Once nurtured a promise A full life calling For a madman’s stride Now they don’t spare a sound Only wallow in the storms, Slowly wearing them down With their dreary assaults What will rise in their place When this cold downpour Is just a nightmare adrift In tomorrow’s grey veil?
