lyrics

My eternal foe, the obdurate, crimson sun.
She mocks my thirst as I struggle to shield myself from her unrelenting gaze.
That one unblinking eye, indifferent in her cruelty,
crying tears of flame, lighting the sky ablaze.
Visions of dusk, a sky of stars, or cool, limpid pools ever elude me.

For she has drank the ocean and strangled the night,
jealous as she was of sharing her realm with the stars.
Naught but ash and dust covers the earth,
while that baleful star passes judgement from atop her throne.

My nemesis knows no equal.
No mortal may withstand her glare.
Her rage which turns forest to ash.
Her love for which wars we have been waged.
Yet each day, anew, begs me to wonder:
what misdeed earned us her ire?
What sin of our ancestors cursed us to toil in her incandescent light?

No shield may I raise in defense.
No blade may I wield to cleave the sky in twain.
For her enmity burns eternal.
Stealing the darkness as we pray for rain or night to grant us
the illusive dream we survivors share:
but the briefest respite from her flaming sky.

Until then, I wander the cracked earth, ever under her hateful authority.
