Karl Jenkins - Torches lyrics

The animals scattered in all directions Screaming terrible screams Many were burning Others were burnt All were shattered And scattered mindlessly Their eyes bulging Some hugged their sons Others their fathers and mothers Unable to let them go And so they died And so they died Others leapt up in their thousands Faces disfigured And were consumed by the fire Everywhere were bodies Squirming on the ground Wings, eyes and paws all burning They breathed their last As living torches
