Sunset
The sun may one day set on man
For all the things done by his hand
Most of which are good and gay
But some which only wither or decay
A world once new, born from a star
The same observing from afar
As the mortals down below
Chaos, reap, and discord, sows
This star is worshipped for a time
Meager offerings and shrines
It doesn’t care for mankind’s gifts
As time revolves the sunlight lifts
Now this world is bright with flame
Lit up, not one lone man to blame
They’ve learned that sunlight, yet sublime
Must be harnessed, held and primed
A live grenade of solar beams
Within man’s hand, and thus he deems
It’s time to start the end of Earth
And destroy with sun, all creation, henceforth
And still the sun watches from beyond
As humans slaughter their own blood
The sun’s grown weary as it sees
As man squanders the light it brings
The sun one day may set on man
And yet it brightens scarred, torn land
As even though it’s worn away
The sun always rises, day after day
