Coup De Grace
A white-hot fire
That once raged furiously
Becomes a moribund flame
Flickering...
As it dims in the racing wind
Continually fighting
To keep on, yet steadily
Losing the battle
Til an unkind fate douses
The once smoldering heat
A lethal blow!
A white-hot fire
That once raged furiously
Now an evaporating smoke
The story of us...
