Fiery Sunset

Orange clouds,

Behind them a blue sky

As the sun sets below us

The bell tower rings twice

 

As the town gathers their belongings

And sets off now to bed

I'll stay up many hours more

The wicked need no rest

 

The steeps of the buildings

Loom silent above my hood

A long cape trailing behind me,

I tip-toe away, fingers dripping in blood

 

I didn't mean to do so much wrong,

I didn't want no harm or damage

They were just a few small rocks,

Placed before her horse drawn carriage

 

She didn't deserve such a tragic end,

She lived her life so much better than I

And yet still she crossed my path

And mine were the only eyes to watch her die

 

Red clouds,

Behind them the sky turns purple

I'll never return home again

Every step another towards that looming inferno
