Squarely facing the reality that “there are those who are trying to set fire to the world,”  the opening line of text is set as an unrelenting, multi-layered chant with overarching cries of "we are in danger.”  The work transforms into an lyrical anthem as singers then proclaim steadfast resolve in an increasingly troubled world.  Additional violin and cello accompaniment is optional.  Commissioned in 2017 by Bella Voce , Reno Nevada .
