Shadow's Descent

Brian Hunt

Upon the hill there we lie
As shadows descend upon the sky

But there is no fear for we are forever blind
And so, darkness has been ever kind

The ones who see are the ones who scream
As shadows descend into sunny dreams

‘I will repent I will repent’ those words they say
But just like us, on their backs they will forever lay

Unlike them we do not pretend
For we know where the shadows descend

Sleep for now or sleep forever
You will continue a shadow’s endeavor

The cost of light is that it burns and rends
While we are blessed when shadows descend
