I caught that scent, is don't smell like it should
I run to my door, thinkin' something's no good
Smoke is rising up through the floor
I feel the heat I bust right through my door

I look to the west, crimson fire is shining
Trees on fire, heat and sparks are flying
Where's the help is it on the way?
Please oh lord will we live another day?

It came right through without a warning
Hot wind blowing the fire's storming
Everywhere I look I see the end

I grab my coat, I cover my head
Run for my life, I won't be left for dead
Cars on fire, the inferno roars
The ground is hot, I'm scared right to my core

It came right through without a warning
Hot wind blowing the fire's storming
Everywhere I look I see the end

Sun is rising, the help is here
Uniforms everywhere, it quells my fears
But can't there be another way
To make these wildfires go away

It came right through without a warning
Hot wind blowing the fire's storming
Everywhere I look I see the end
