The fires ravaged a town I once knew.
Ashes now are the solace of the dead.
There are no steps to trace anymore.
I can't find a single remnant of what
I once knew.
The silence is deafening. The charred remains.
The embers that died out long ago.
Where have I been?
How could no one have warned me?
My tracks how they fade
in once what I thought was snow.

The fires ravaged a town I once knew.
Ashes now are the solace of the dead.
There are no steps to trace anymore.
I can't find a single remnant of what
I once knew.
The silence is deafening. The charred remains.
The embers that died out long ago.
Where have I been?
How could no one have warned me?
My tracks how they fade
in once what I thought was snow.
