Walked down the river And saw burning houses People run and cry This was the night of fire The night of fire People run and cry People cry Flowers standing at the way Burned down in flames The flowers cannot cry Flowers cannot cry People run and cry People cry There was another night of fire Another night of fire When windows broke and splintered Splintered in flames People run and die People die There was another night of fire Another night of fire I saw burning houses People run and cry People run and cry
