Emergencies dictate the movement
Responses required within the moment
To take what is needed
And rise to the occasion
The call is heeded
No hesitation
The challenges have come
The battle's not done
All weapons released
All bloodlust unleashed
Expect no quarter no reservation
It only gets harder, more tribulation
Disasters fall with no warning
Preparations fail as shortcomings
No wall so strong to withstand the sea
No monolith so lasting as to forever be
I have responded to all emergencies
And spread myself thin in all the urgency
The challenges came and they've been met
But I've not recuperated yet
Disasters came, I've withstood them barely
All resources drained entirely
I'm sorry, this is all I have left to present
Destroyed, depleted, deficient
All I have, all you see
All this is yours, take it -- take me
Use your magic
Redeem the tragic
Reverse the decimation
Grasp the sands
In your hands
Rebuild my shattered vision
