As flames rise around

The door to the world,

People's innocent lives lie in ashes.

 

We burn down

All hope for humanity,

Using stupidity to destroy.

 

As we spread searing flames,

More and more hatred gleams in glossy eyes.

 

We ignite big bombs!

When will we learn how to extinguish the blaze

Until there's nothing left?

 

If we all sipped holy water,

Instead of swallowing devilish flames,

We would have peace,

No chaos
