Because it didn't understand fire
it burned
Because it didn't understand water
it froze

Because all this time we look back 
at the things we fear

When there were echoes
it screamed
When there was sunlight
it seared

When we look back we see the way
Ahead we fear silence and sameness

We froze
It burned
