the glow in the sky
sunset refusing to die
keeps on burning
my heart is yearning
under these burning skies
only close my eyes
plagued with fears
open them in tears
where hope is my foe
just have to know have to await
or become bullet bait
under blistering sun hung high
where screaming bombs fly
until the sun sinks from sight
leaving but bitter cold night
the glow in the sky
sunset refusing to die
keeps on burning
wheels are turning
press of into the black
days of sleep I lack
skin is molten steel
not allowed to feel
thought leads to despair
better not to care
time is but a singularity
tomorrow only today's plurality
the sands of time are ruthless
I know I was witness
I spit on them
I shit on them
when I came to rest
'twas upon their breast
