Fire and Earth
Il est le feu. Lying dormant for way too long
Je suis terre. Scorched and seemingly barren of life
Disaster has struck again, but Earth still stands strong
And will blossom into a world free of all strife
But what is the Earth without a trailblazing light?
There can be no life without the presence of Sun
Will he be the one to illuminate my night,
Or be the firestorm that makes Earth come undone?
Because my scarred lands cannot take another hit
I will not let the ground beneath me fall apart
I need a control burn, not a fiery split
And deep down, a Fire that ignites my core, my heart
Tu es le feu. Show me a light that will not die
Je suis terre. I will sustain the light if you let me try
