World of Light - SUMAC

[25:53.0]Silence, long held
[25:53.0]in shuttered cities
[25:53.0]Landscape pocked with bodies
[25:53.0]Stale breath hovers
[25:53.0]Piled high under common eye
[25:53.0]the naked dead flow
[25:53.0]A stream uninterrupted
[25:53.0] in light of day
[25:53.0]Rats stir, quiver
[25:53.0]under sun’s unbidden pallor
[25:53.0]Oh, muted hearts
[25:53.0]through clasped hands glimmer
[25:53.0] Shine!
[25:53.0] Shine!
[25:53.0]Steps falter
[25:53.0]in halls long emptied
[25:53.0]Dull gaze glistens
[25:53.0]through shadowed cracks
[25:53.0] Mask broken
[25:53.0]Blood, across all shores
[25:53.0] twined
[25:53.0]By the fall
[25:53.0]all are joined
[25:53.0]Through red cloud’s haze
[25:53.0]finger’s reach is met
[25:53.0] All are joined
[25:53.0] All are joined
[25:53.0]Sight regained
[25:53.0]In rooms now illumed
[25:53.0]by fire’s shine
[25:53.0]Swaying mass
[25:53.0] by hymns restored
[25:53.0] Up the luminous steps
[25:53.0]Arisen from the ash they ascend
[25:53.0] Up! Up!
[25:53.0] Ascend!
[25:53.0]By shards of sun scattered
[25:53.0]Through dome hung with leaves
[25:53.0]are anointed bowed heads
[25:53.0] In this world of light
