I experienced a big bush fire when I was a little kid.. this is the aftermath.

lyrics

The Devils Breath
©1999 Rose Bygrave

Picking up twigs like little birds
The God-forsaken wind’s blown in
Burning sticks from the burning hills
The Devil's breathing down on us

And all around
We watched the sky
As every thread of smoke
Rose high

The wind is in the north
Like fire on the ground
The Devil’s breath bears down

He’s off in the car and he’s gone again
And everyone knows the possible score
You see he’s fighting flame with sticks and bags
Then back in the car he’s home once more

‘The wind went round
we lost our way.
Jesus’ he said ‘we nearly got caught today’

The wind is in the north
Like fire on the ground
The Devil’s breath bears down

I dream of fire in my sleep
I dream the fire’s at the door
I watch the weather like a hawk up high
Hunting burning twigs below

The grass is turning brown
The wind is going round
In every country town
We’re still nervous on the ground

The wind is in the north
Like fire on the ground
The Devil’s breath bears down
