The air up here was sweet and pure
like forest's breath, the only cure
the song they sang was ours and theirs
I danced along the water's fires
with crystal scales and broken lyres
and metronomes behind my eyes
Is there no shelter in the pines
No one had caught these troubling signs
Invaders hail from everywhere
This glowing orb has now been rinsed
of all its beauty ever since
our mother's tears went up in flames
No longer can I taste the rain
All sanctuary feels the pain
foretelling all that is to come
