---

When my fires burned, on that breaking dawn,

my eye awakened to the world and the universe

When I gazed upon, all the lands unknown

and I felt a power deep within that helped all grow

All came to know and revere me so,

all would worship the light so blindly not knowing what’s to come

When the fires cool,

when the fires are no longer burning bright, the dark grows

When the fires cool,

when the fires retreat to the shadowed world and die

When my eyes are closed,

when the eye can no longer watch over your doomed world

When the fires cool,

when the fires see that there is nothing left

Worlds have come and gone, gods now forgotten,

wars and plagues have scourged the realm of men and the home of gods

I’m the constant being, every day I bring,

hope or fear to those who wait for me, days or months on end

Though it’s life I bring, death is close within,

worlds will one day see me coming near, and then disappear

What is left of me, when my strength gives in,

and the light turns dark inside of me, in the growing  cold
