When the black sun rises we will say our final prayer. We will splay our fingers upon the dusty ground And wet the earth with our tears. God, save us. Our blind eyes will turn to one another, Our brothers and sisters in every way. We will cling to one another, Fingernails digging into the flesh of our equally fallen brethren, Mouths agape with soundless cries of terror And regret. As our senses fail and our ears go deaf We will fall amid the frenzied wails of our families. We will die in the desert, The land full of sinners, and ourselves full of sin, Throats warm with blood.
