The sun

I've never won

Let it all fall down around my head

Block out the sun while I'm in bed

It's always too late and

Never too far

To get where you are

And it's now

~~~

Out of Obelisk and

Osiris, dragon saint

Three gods and mine

Was the sun Ra

It's not too late

And light

Was I right

Did I choose it

Lose it

Watch it fall

~~~

So which way is

Right?

Up or down

Left is night

And I can't stand that brutal light

Lost in the dark

I'd lose the fight

And then I find it goes

Three ways down

~~~

Oblivious, triple that

Mischevious little

Ray of sunlight

More bark than bite

And the dark is

Thieving me blind

Not that I mind, but

Still death

~~~

Undreaming

My last breath of

A life not worth living

Giving my soul back

Lacking the pace

That's the third option I face

~~~

Could I give light another chance

Another glance

For retribution in my eyes is

Manipulations, variations

Is the dark domain open

Or in the sun my only way

Thanks anyway

I'll take my chances with

The night

~~~

Yet fate, conspiritory

Lacking glory

How I hate it

Forces me to look

Pushes my head out through

The window, where the sun laughs

I'd rather be dead

~~~

Forget both

Keep your star of fire

Your shadows dire

I'll sleep away forever

And you'll never wake me

I'm just tired...

~~~
