A Fire In the Sky

The fiery sun,
sends its warm rays here.
To give precious life,
a chance to appear.

The fire in the sky,
tickles with its flame.
To play the humans,
in a cosmic game.

The light of the world,
the heat of the fire.
The things that man needs,
to build his empire.

The ancient heros,
raised swords to the sun.
To enlist their god,
for his will be done.

The night prayers go out,
as the fires burn.
To beg the darkness,
for the dawns return.

Today the sun shines,
like a blast furnace.
To win we must fight,
with deadly earnest!
