The elements song

I went to burn my city down
torch it all, and just
skip town
my heart's campaign became a rout
said pack your shit
and just get out


I felt a wind upon me
it said run run run
I heard a sound around me
for the thunderhead had found me
those chains of rain were bound to drown
the sun sun sun


I turned love's soil
full furrow
cut my spade into the burrow
lonely bones lay long forgotten
earthly fruits
all ripely rotten


I felt a wind upon me
it said run run run
I heard a sound around me
for the thunderhead had found me
those chains of rain were bound to drown
the sun sun sun


I killed a fire with water
lo, I led it to the slaughter
I said Odin, I'm your daughter, but
my god

why even bother
