Totems In the Sky
Totems in the sky, they deaden the night
Barricading the stars, no sign of light
Clouds of grey, quickly bringing dismay
A message from above; will this be the day
I pray for the sun to chase them away
I beg them to leave, but they chose to stay
Moving sluggishly, so slowly, they terrify me
I’ve pondered their gloom, the pure mystery
What lies behind them, what lies within?
Do they carry iniquities, are they wrapped in our sin
They unease my soul; frighten me to the bone
Perhaps their true meaning will forever be unknown
