And if the sun was not but a hand,
Would it reach down from its might,
And shine upon the very world I love?
The shadows of a hunters mind but a-
Shadow of the suns absence will kill,
Or would it fin pleasure in stalking?
And the stars nothing more then burning-
Bonfires as guidance for lost birds flight,
And if such was our world of humans?
Would you embrace the burning hand,
Fear the stalking shadows of a madman,
And once follow the lost birds guidance?
