From the sky rains endless fire 
Not from any God's divine ire 
But from pure hatred's burning desire 
By the fires of the night 
 
It streaks forward brightly, an unstoppable force 
Kindled by those who show no remorse 
Robbing all beauty and making it coarse 
By the fires of the night 
 
Up from the doomed planet rise screams 
Civilization torn at the seams 
Awaiting a horror beyond any dreams 
By the fires of the night 
 
A curious thing, this heavenly flame 
Such beauty behold, yet deadly all the same 
Almost with regret it consumes its aim 
By the fires of the night 
 
In its path clouds boil away 
Lakes, streams, and oceans join the fray 
The people are next, so filled with dismay 
By the fires of the night 
 
To those helplessly watching, Oh, what a sight! 
A world destroyed by terrifying might 
Against the blackness it burns very bright 
By the fires of the night
