We failed to see the sunrise
We were blinded by the night
The beasts watched in splendor
But we cast our backs to the light

We watched as she descended
The day turned into dusk
We did not miss her mighty glow
We did not miss her touch

We longed for dawn but found only night
We wished to see but were failed by sight
We sought the day but avoided the light
We craved her glow but hid in the dark

Until one day we stopped our cries
and looked around to see
Free from all her penetrating eyes
Free from all her needs
Her light had failed to see us
and neither ourselves could we see

We fear to see the sunrise
Illumined by by her sight
In the dark we love to hide our deeds
We have learned to love our plight

Her radiant eyes will shine again
But we fear her gentle kiss
Dawn will bring about the light
And we are the darkness
