Blue Wind Burning

there's a blue wind burning

with our hopes and our sighs

and the blood beneath our skin and the tears behind our eyes

there's a blue wind burning

with our fears and our cries

and the sobs of those of us with the misfortune to survive

there's a blue wind burning

cursing us to stay alive

unless you drew the lucky straw

in which case you can die.
