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
