[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium
Calcium, potassium, sulfuric amino acids

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Natural pyre, arboreal funeral
And in the wake, lay massive graves
Supersurface catacombs of charcoal bones
An empty slate to set the stage for what’s to come

[Pre-Chorus]
Nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium
Calcium, potassium, sulfuric amino acids

[Chorus]
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

[Guitar solo 1: Michael Stancel]

[Bridge]
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
[Guitar solo 2: Greg Burgess]

[Chorus]
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
