Spirits of the trees, I beg you hear my plea

I’ve lost it all in your rebirth. Unite us in the red dirt.

Lost in bureaucratic strain

Condemned our souls to wrath of flame

Eternal rest among the trees

Sorrow authored by your decree

Oh, bushland pantheon, embrace the reminders of old

We fear the dry, desert wind, solar heat

Falsified, this story we’re told

We prayer for our safety as the earth turns to ash

I see the smoke, a fire blazing over the hills

Ember horizon afar

The redgum inferno bastille

Charred death aroma

I see it all burned down

I find her bloodied gown

Her scorched blistered limbs

Our home now scattered to the wind

Burn with me, wildfires

Dance with me

Burn with me, be devoured

Burn for me

I’ve lost it all

I crave my end

Without her here

It’s just eucalyptic fire

I’ve lost it all

I crave my end

Embrace the heat

of eucalyptic fire

I’ve lost it all

In your rebirth

Unite us again

In eucalyptic fire

Designed to fail

Our souls condemned

No way out

But eucalyptic fire
