//------------------------------// // Chapter Twelve // Story: Against the night // by Senorita-De-La-Nieve //------------------------------// Ask not, the sun, why she sets, Why she shrouds her light away Or why she hides her golden gaze When night turns crimson gold to grey Silent, falls the guilty sun As day to dark does turn One simple truth she dare not speak Her light can only blind and burn No mercy for the guilty Bring down their lying sun Blood, so silver, black by night Upon their faces, palest white Cruel moon bring the end The dawn will never rise again. The night time moon, quick to ascend No more sun, she can’t contend Stars will light the traveler's path Before the sun may share her wrath Time has come to soothe thy pain The dawn will never rise again
