Ash

With the fields of wheat covered in ash
From burning cities and burning towns
The wicked winds spread the remnants
Of the unused fuel, building the fire 
The Four Horsemen have gone away
Having then destroyed for all time
Our humanity's residue in the wake 
War, famine, pestilence and death
The harvest is slaughter, a suicide
Fear leaves some humans aware
That they will be abandoned to fate
