		Watching from behind the flames,
		The fire that waits inside my eyes,
		I observe through a flickering glow.

		My fingers far away clutch the tools,
		The incendriary things and thoughts;
		I am ready, the world prepares.

		Soon in final inner peace
		I will feel the things I see,
		The flames outside will match the ones within,
		The searing end of everything.
