Make all the cold trees mourn  their branches frozen in sightless motion  Waving, reaching for the whispering rain  There was silence and the firmament withdrew  revealing all, shapelessly and swiftly  In carmine and crimson stood flaming the sky  the relics of myths that exploded and died    Dismantle the sun and stars in their rise  and rend from the skyline the black in our eyes    The skyline so empty  all but one, nonexistent    Words were not, nor gesture, through or life  The skydancers laid slain and old  The firmament in perpetual withdrawal    Lux Aeterna - sing unto the world
