We will not be the Sun

We will not be the sun to end the night
To show you naked truth in waking dreams
Nay, better we should bring an end to light

Than let you leap into that final flight
Which has one end, but is an endless scream
We will not be the sun to end the night

And compensate in time for failing sight
For sight will fail, through angry eyes be seen
Nay, better we should bring an end to light

Lest you decipher left and wrong from right
And find the truths that wiser lives have gleaned
We will not be the sun to end the night

And take a chance that some fair morn you might
Awake, and understand why you must dream
Nay, better we should bring an end to light

Than cower from the truth when skies are bright
And be forever less than what we seem
We will not be the sun the end the night
Nay, better we should bring an end to light.
