Eight Minutes of Light

Churning fire, arching flame
Fulcrum of Earth's flight
Foundry of man and stone
Destroyer of the night

Celestial furnace runs out of fuel
Self-consuming, it dies

Into the cold, black sky
Light and heat no longer pour
Eight minutes of light
Eight minutes of life
Darkness evermore

The morning sun bathes land and sea
Sleepers start to rise
A final dawn, a final day
Then eternal night

Celestial furnace runs out of fuel
Self-consuming, we die

Into the cold, black sky
Light and heat no longer pour
Eight minutes of light
Eight minutes of life
Darkness evermore
