I swear I blew the candle out that evening
I think I even pinched the wick
I can't make any sense of this
Why have the birds not stopped singing?
Why does the earth still spin?
I crossed the river just before the day broke
And when I reached the old live oak
That's when I first saw the smoke
And I ran like hell through the meadow
And I heard him scream for me
And I smelled the flesh from forty paces
I saw the vultures circling
Silhouetted by the orange glow
Cast by the flames
Of everything I've ever loved ablaze
