The Fires of Hell

THE FIRES OF HELL

The fire of hell which warm the devils dwelling
Now the Land of Oz are quelling
They rage and burn, galloping on
Taking life and homes, leaving none

The path they raze blows with the wind
The devil strolls through, but no one sinned
He strikes with abandon and takes at random

How to return him down below
Quell the fiery winds which blow
Ease the pain of those surviving
Pray for the people the land reviving

Homes and lives dashed
Dreams and peace crashed
Pray for rain to quell the flame 
Make the devil return and no more claim
