"I awoke that morning
To a sudden clang of silence
A pallid morning light
Bleeding from dusk’s horizon
Some ersatz pyre
Mocking the glory of dawn
As I stepped outside
And the wind
Grew hot on my face
I knew what we had done"
We kindled poison suns
That we might strike first
And bathe in fire
To cleanse the earth
Of those we feared
Would cleanse us first
We violent children
That day I left
My withered home
As the ashes
Of our citiеs and our dead
Were bornе on pyre wind
To touch the livid sky
And strangle the sun
And starve the life
From all those who yet remain
We violent children
Have set our small blue world aflame
No trees, no warmth, no life
No sun, no stars, no light
Q: The heavens are emptied
Why have you forsaken us?
A: Your darkness fills the sky
Why have you forsaken yourselves?
Forsaken, forsaken
Vespero mundi expectando
To a sudden clang of silence
A pallid morning light
Bleeding from dusk’s horizon
Some ersatz pyre
Mocking the glory of dawn
As I stepped outside
And the wind
Grew hot on my face
I knew what we had done"
We kindled poison suns
That we might strike first
And bathe in fire
To cleanse the earth
Of those we feared
Would cleanse us first
We violent children
That day I left
My withered home
As the ashes
Of our citiеs and our dead
Were bornе on pyre wind
To touch the livid sky
And strangle the sun
And starve the life
From all those who yet remain
We violent children
Have set our small blue world aflame
No trees, no warmth, no life
No sun, no stars, no light
Q: The heavens are emptied

A: Your darkness fills the sky
Why have you forsaken yourselves?
Forsaken, forsaken
Vespero mundi expectando
