Renewal

Away! Away! No ride away! The rider came and said Make haste! Make haste! It plans to waste! Your lands and strike you dead Up! And up! They all got up! To grab a little to take They ran! They ran! Away they ran! Ahead of what's at stake Look! But look! Just take a look! A few ignored the cry Alas! Alas! But oh alas! Their fate they could not hide Storm! A storm! A riotous storm! Engulfed the staying crowd Flood! A flood! A raging flood! Swept 'way them and their town Away! Away! It swept away! The lands that used to lie Life! But life! But also life! It brought this evening nigh Anew! Anew! It brought anew! Rich soil, seed from afar Give! To give! New life to give! Those returning, new life to start
