Requeim for a Lost People
In another time, in this placethere once danced a fairer race.
children of moon and sun
they were born when time begun
they were a part of this Earth
and from them mankind recieved its birth
In the forest were they dwelt
no one heard their cries for help
Before their eyes the children grew old
falling down stiff and cold
None survived that horrid night
the children all died of fright
The parents were left alone to mourn
not another child was ever born
Then they too died, one by one
till not enough were left to greet the sun
They came again, this time in force
Forever disrupting nature's course
They finished what they had begun
not one was left to greet the sun
Now the sun is weak and dying
and the trees there are forever sighing
and the world shall never see
what this place could once be
for those who once walked strong and proud
are now covered by Death's shroud
