Night Before by Aki

The days were short
When we saw the sun as friend
For there was never enough water,
Not even for tears.

And so I sit and
Watch the calming stars
In the darkness lost ones whisper,
Weaving cloak and hood.

There is no peace, no rest
When there is no God to watch
Why were they not saved? I cry,
For they had souls.

But their lives are dust
Despoiled by man and war
By those who seek to make me
Another numbered sword.

I am weary--I weary
Of hiding and of death
And of skies swallowed in red fire
That gives no light.

I will ride your pale horse
Let the black beast sit with me
For a while. I shall be Death and Darkness,
Leaving stars strewn in my wake.

Owari
