BEYOND THE SAFETY OF TWILIGHT

Hope should not fade with every breath

We all occupy one Earth

And nothing less

There’s more than one tainted sky

There’s more than one high

There are so many fires to tame

There are so many pictures to frame

Let us summon rationally

And have the purest beauty

Bestowed upon us

Let’s fuse together with the one

Closest to us

Let’s form a single row and chant

Cause elevation

Is at hand

Give me a gauntlet to walk

And let me prove

that I can be valiant 

Give me a bow and arrow

to kill the demon’s radiance

Let me be Nimrod

And make me build a tower

Let me obliterate a star

And create

a stardust shower
