I saw you in the underworld when the earth collapsed The incendiary skies burned bright; Burning And I saw you beneath its scorching glare Standing by the banks of the river Styx Your supple skin marred and stained By soot and mud from below your feet And burnmarks; I know not where you got them I called your name Shouted it Screamed it But you did not hear me You did not listen Simply stared off into the distance Body glowing, body burning World glowing, world burning Burning Flaming Ablaze.

Underworld
I saw you in the underworld when the earth collapsed The incendiary skies burned bright; Burning And I saw you beneath its scorching glare Standing by the banks of the river Styx Your supple skin marred and stained By soot and mud from below your feet And burnmarks; I know not where you got them I called your name Shouted it Screamed it But you did not hear me You did not listen Simply stared off into the distance Body glowing, body burning World glowing, world burning Burning Flaming Ablaze.
