The sun, it sets on another day.  
Dark makes night its immortal prey;  
Dusk’s weary ghost digs its own grave  
To make the morning’s light its slave.

Shallow lies the serpent’s tomb,  
Vain to exit its mother’s womb,  
Yet only after futile day is done  
Shall serpent and its earth be one.

Speak, Rain, wash clean the stone,  
Chill the banished soul to bone.  
When time dies, no more to roam  
Then good makes dark it’s final home.

Scream, Soul, scream, though none to hear  
Through agony, torment, hate and fear.  
Dance, Soul, dance, though none to see  
How strong and deep thy love can be.
