Loudly did the Earth rumble
As I snuggled closer to the tree
For my house was full of perils
And havoc had set free

Fate rolled its dice
I, a mere pawn of its play
The shadows laughed at me
For my future, as strong as wet clay

Gusty winds made the windows shatter
Overhead, heaven started to weep
Mighty thunder struck the abode of chaos
And my house crumbled to a trivial heap

I watched as his cold smile turned to a sneer
For in that mayhem, to ashes turned I
But the wreck served home to my revival
And in the moment, the devil turned wry
