about

Inspired by the book "100 Suns" by Michael Light.

lyrics

In a vessel on a tower
In a town where no one lives
Lies an offering to Shiva
A rare and precious gift to give

The priests are chanting in their chambers
Eyes averted from His light
If the scriptures aren't mistaken
A god will walk the earth tonight

And in his robe of flame and dust he danced above them
Like a thousand suns he burned and brought destruction

Far from land an island rises
From a sea as still as glass
By its shores the priests have gathered
To say a different kind of mass

A hundred ships of war are anchored
Offered up in sacrifice
For those who'd gaze upon Poseidon
First must sate his appetite

Wrapped in hurricanes he comes to rend and shatter
In his wake the sea is torn and chokes the heavens

Two thousand gods among us
Luna Shakti Oberon Ceres and Canopus
Two thousand gods among us
Chagai Lop Nur Socorro Trinity and Argus
