It scorches the ground a single spark then starts a raging wave The dancing flames, of red and yellow, no one can be saved The heat, the light, the colours change to draw the eye and mind A maze created, by your fear, an exit you will never find The chaos and the fright combined create a panicked state So much resting on one move, a single step can change your fate The smoke, the ash, the smell of fear is just too much to bear The dust, the dark, the blazing heat, the desperate need for air There's nothing you can do or say there's no one even near You just lie still and hug yourself, surrounded by your fear Your vision blurs, the colours gone, the silence closes in The chances to escape are gone, saviours have already been There's nothing for you now, but death, and it is on its way No one ever escapes the maze, no matter what they say The flames consume you; they light the dark, swallowing you in a single bite What's left of you they'll never find, but no one will forget that night Fire is the single thing that no one can control Consuming every living thing, all users pay the toll A slip, a spark, a flame unwatched can start it all again This time it will be someone new who just may meet their end
