Heart of Fire
Hearts thumping, pumping, jumping all around
Every man looks upon the blaze from the fire engine
5,4, 3, 2, 1 action! Every man with their own job, training
They go without hesitation,
I go with fear, fear holds us back, but fear keeps us alive.
I go in, take one out.
I go in, take one out.
An endless cycle commences, I began liberating them from the flames
I go in, take one out.
I go in, take one out.
Cry for liberation is heard
3 went in,
The blaze soon spreads all around, my fear told me to go
And I listened letting fear drive the wave, but my friends didn’t
They hoped to save one last soul.
I go out, I’m outside
I have eluded the jaws of death.
The others weren’t as lucky
The flame has been slain but not without losses
I buried two friends today because I let fear dictate my life.
Fear kept me alive but at what cost.
