Oppressive heat of the high Devil sun
Fire breaching sky
-Everything ends as dust-
Vast and eternal ocean of sand
Bone white planet
-The endless death of passing Time-
No creatures breathe this salted air
No heartbeats quiet
-The scorching winds of hateful Gods-
Gods that were once men
Ghosts made of dust
-Casting shadows on the deserts they have made-
