Pyro

Danger lurking in the dark

waiting, waiting

Stranger strikes a little spark

flames burning

 

Little child lies asleep

dying, dying

As black smoke begins to creep

into the room

 

Smoke alarms sound in the night

blaring, blaring

Parents wake, cry out in fright

but it's too late

 

House goes up, a ball of flame

burning, burning

Declarations of love, lost names

then no more
