In the gleaming nightfall
We can watch the light retreat
Its rays slither eastward
like snakes along the grass
As it leaves us to ourselves
Woods of tall trees
old
Deformed and barren
Obscuring the sun
Red and tired
Rom working its way up
From life giver to massive hydrogen bomb.
We can't see the sun
But we can see the god rays
Surrounding the trees
And brief dim flickers of light
Shining through them.
These are rays from a god that is long dead
It's our final night in this place
There is no tomorrow
This evening we drink to the day the world ended
We can watch the light retreat
Its rays slither eastward
like snakes along the grass
As it leaves us to ourselves
Woods of tall trees
old
Deformed and barren
Obscuring the sun
Red and tired
Rom working its way up
From life giver to massive hydrogen bomb.
We can't see the sun
But we can see the god rays
Surrounding the trees
And brief dim flickers of light
Shining through them.
These are rays from a god that is long dead
It's our final night in this place
There is no tomorrow
This evening we drink to the day the world ended
