Moving is a challenge
Each step harder than the last
Even blinking is tiring
Eyes are heavy, body aches
Just need to keep moving
Can't stop, it all depends on this
I reach the door, success
I step through to the other side
And at the end of the way
I fall, energy gone
Weariness finally takes over
I pass out
I fall to the floor
From complete and total exhaustion
The words are burning within my mind
Ready to be spoken
This is the Evocation of Eternal Fire
Boom, boom, boom, the drums resound
My heart matching their continuous beat
Boom, boom, boom, I begin
"Oh God Ifrit, master of the Eternal Flame
Lord of Death and Rebirth
Holder of the sun
Who's power could scorch the entire earth!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom, the beat gets faster
"Take up flight and burn the pillars of persecution
Rise once again and show your might
Banish the evil, sear it with your holy flame
Leave none of it, char it to cinders!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
"Arise O' Mighty Ifrit
Bless the sky with your grace
Protect the good and destroy the wicked
Bring us peace and salvation
Arise, arise, arise!" boom, boom, boom
"Come forth in a tornado of flame!
Boom, boom, boom, boom, drums beat erratically
"Fire, punishment, peace, tranquility
Peace!"
Rising from the ashes of death
Emanating power and life
Its cry pierces the sky
It beats its enormous wings
Burning everything around it
It rises into the air
Soaring into the sky
Fire following behind it
It lets out another piercing wail
It rises higher into the sky
Its body radiates with holy flames
One more cry for the departed
Then the fire erupts from its body
And it returns to the earth
What was taken long ago
The holy flame of the phoenix
Given by the fire god Ifrit
Bringing peace and
Bringing life to a dying planet

I like this very much~
It's so simple, yet it portrays so much.
Mmm this is the first poem I read of yours, but I am adorning your style already. And I am a lady of no lies.
