The early morning sun will rise Brightening the empty skies The veil did singe with burning fire Emitted from the Torrid Lyre Vagrant to the void of space Hadrons rouse an early race Standing now where naught once stood The burning veil becomes my hood Passion breaks the cage of light Forming first the sense of sight Soaring as the falcon flies It breached my hood and tore my eyes Empty thoughts in reckless space Have now become a crowded place Soaked with fury, change is fast Reckoning the forgone past: Meager, basic, blunt and cold The times of new expel the old Burning bodies run the maze Their will becomes the nights and days The dark and seedy mass of land Dust and soil, rock and sand Will seek and trace, pursue and chase The Torrid Lyre's warm embrace And in this heat, the clouds are born The twisting, violent, evil storm As rain drops hurdle to the ground Upon the rocks, their will does sound Shaping all of which they touch The world is formed within their clutch When all components settle there The lightning rips its course through air The impetus lies in the spark Exciting atoms, protons, quarks The legs of life are flying free Propelling birth across the sea In the light, I fade away My time is gone, I've had my say For Alpha cannot always be The beginning's end has finished me The early morning sun will rise Omega watches with my eyes |
