Star fire
Lady lied
Did you see how the child cried?

Man's tears
Boy cried.
Girl left alone as children died.

Star fire
Death's bride.
Ignorant man laughs as fools abide.

Man's tears.
May I confide?
Star fire has life magnified.

Star fire,
Lady lied~

"My child,
Worry not
Flame would never touch you.
Flame can never touch you.
You're safe!
You're safe!
Stay here with me.
I love you,
I love you,
My trust is bonafide."

Can you see how the children cried?
