A spark emerges, kindling flame Set by components, heat, fuel, and oxygen Tearing through forests, infernal blaze Scorching the soil, making room for life to start again
Through this disaster Enrich the world Shedding the skin of the canopy, return to Earth The ashen rain Falls to the world Exothermic chemical combustion, let it burn
Natural pyre, arboreal funeral And in the wake, lay massive graves Supersurface catacombs of charcoal bones An empty slate to set the stage for whatâs to come
Nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium
Calcium, potassium, sulfuric amino acids
Through this disaster Enrich the world Shedding the skin of the canopy, return to Earth The ashen rain Falls to the world Exothermic chemical combustion, let it burn Let it burn

Plant perception, fire-mediated serotinous seed dispersion Alkalinity and acidity create eutrophic soil Germination and flowering occur Replacing with new life what was taken by disaster

Through this disaster Enrich the world Shedding the skin of the canopy, return to Earth The ashen rain Falls to the world Exothermic chemical combustion, let it burn Let it burn
