Fire (London burns) My take on the Great Fire Of London

Verse 1

Panic spread around London, Crowds of people run around helpless panicking, fire brigades rush to the scene escorting people to safety, London's burning and there's nothing the world can do to end this tragic nightmare looking down.

Chorus

Fire ablaze, London in turmoil, people shattered, and buildings crumbling and turning into ashes, lives changing for the worst and the world's in mourning.

Verse 2

Dust and smoke fill the air, people collapse to the ground, onlookers gather round in circles witnessing this devastation rise above, they are stunned at how London can quickly dissolve from something into nothing, just like that.

Verse 3

Human remains scattered across roads, fields destroyed by the fires spreading quickly, people cry out as they are alone, this fire has seemingly changed lives with just a click.

Verse 4

Will London ever recover? Can people rebuild their lives? What will become of London in the distant future? Will there be anywhere for these people to hide?
