There they wander,
lost, mourning and weeping.
Under a red sun ever-bleeding,
under a sky veiled by smoke,
under a dull moon without luster.
Over everburning cities and thirsty fields,
over blasted mountains and mired seas,
over dark oceans hiding twisted wrecks.
Drifting in burning wind on ashen wings,
over bones long-since become dust,
tears like rain, salting the ruins.
Abandoned angels on a dead world,
guardians with none they could save.

There they wander,
lost, mourning and weeping.
Under a red sun ever-bleeding,
under a sky veiled by smoke,
under a dull moon without luster.
Over everburning cities and thirsty fields,
over blasted mountains and mired seas,
over dark oceans hiding twisted wrecks.
Drifting in burning wind on ashen wings,
over bones long-since become dust,
tears like rain, salting the ruins.
Abandoned angels on a dead world,
guardians with none they could save.
