Dance of Death
Why must you always
be tempted in your dance of death?
Yearning toward your artificial suns
in a struggle against the darkness
in which you were born.
You are like the scattered souls of Icarus,
living now in a sea of black,
messengers of the underworld
drawn to the burning flame.
This is your eternal torment
for seeking beyond your nature,
a man who thought he could fly
among the birds and beyond,
so you nocturne children want
to embrace the light.
Will you never learn to find peace
within the darkness of the night
and forsake your self-destructing ambitions,
diving forever into the burning fire.
