Slamming bricks out of the wall

Open windows, open doors

There’s nobody left to call

Closed roads, closed stores

Staying alive at any cost

Planes flying high, planes diving deep

Battles won, battles lost

What to let go, what to keep

Flames traveling at high speed 

Too hot to run, too hot to stay

The result of relentless greed

Being here to fight, or going away

Unbearable heat, praying for rain

Exposing gaps, no reason to hide

It just won’t cool down

Even the wind stays outside
