The Evening
The evening
The sky blazes in glorius fury
As the night advances boldly
The bleeding sky sings a song of gold
And the night hums things of old
The hills burn in ruby flame
And a few solitary clouds sail
Across a sea of fire and molten gold
Fleeing ghosts of evenings told
Still the darkness comes
On appossing horizons stand
A knight of gold and a knight of blue
Yet the golden bleeds red, hes run through
And so the hero of fire fades
And the hero of blue prevails
Until arises the hero of light
To banish the hero of night
In that glorious blood shed
Of day and night.
