Along the desert plains

Following footsteps blind

To sleep and dream my friend

Lies still in silence

Unsceptered, and his eyes are closed

Does he wander among the stars?

With head bowed, I hear the earth

The ancient mother, holds me

No force shall wake me from this sleep

But for the kindly hand of love

Bent low and slow embraced

Pay reverence to thy spirit

Pure Goddess of this infant world

With beauty and power unfurl

Sorrow doesn't mark the look

No sign of fear in those eyes

The wayward clouds of evil's touch

Where beats the human heart

Can mortals feel such pain?

With parted lips she spoke to me

Those solemn words I cannot bear

Such mourning I shall never speak

The early Gods know not of this

The old Kings are blinded

Your Heaven is not upon this earth

No Gods are known upon this land

The oceans roar their titan's cries

To scorch and burn, and rule them all

The aching time, it takes us all

Sleep on, my friend once more
