Burning Horizon-Eternia

Sky is turned grey Banishing the black And so appears the first ray Sending the stars back But the sun does not shine On a single river or pine No, just a forever wasteland Endless expanse of dusty-dry sand And from a cold mountain cave appears A young girl, small for her years She sits at the very edge Of the miles-high ledge The sun climbs higher, Into the sky devoid of ozone Skeletal bushes around her Begin to simmer with fire She stares at the beauty Of the great golden orb It’s the last things she’ll ever see, As her life the heat begins to absorb The great flaming sphere Continues up into the sky Shining on a surface world clear Of any life or reasons why Anyone who caught A glimpse of the great sun Anyone who saw the beauty Would be a lucky one The heat of the sun would burn you dead There is no longer an atmosphere To keep its harmful rays From coming near Her skin’s breaking out In heavy sweat As she gazes at celestial being Of bedtime lore And as she stands there She does not regret Her curiosity that burned her Into no more The sun climbs higher Into the sky devoid of ozone Skeletal bushes around her Begin to simmer with fire She stares at the beauty Of the great golden orb It’s the last things she’ll ever see, As her life the heat begins to absorb
