My mother was nothing but food for him My father a meal, not anything more The Flaming Giant has come to us His children arrive to pick our bones
Neither snow of ash, nor rain of blood Can quench our thirst, our need to live Though we are drowned in burning pain The water is gone, the sky in flames
He melts my flesh, destroys my mind The fume above blocks out the sun I go to stand, but only fall And wonder what hell I am in
I hoped this could not be my life A nightmare in the summer heat But now I know that I am wrong Now I know the smoke is real
I crawl, I drag toward her heart Whose beats have just begun to slow I hear the haunted screams inside They cry in fear for rain to come
I reach my dear, and use my strength To speak to her for one last time Her thoughts begin to fade to black "She's gone!" I cry. She won't come back.
