Fractures in the Steel

The Enlightenment has set:
A purple sun hanging in the West.
Shadow, all we have left,
Crept down capitol steps.

Like the fractures in the steel,
In the axle of the wheel,

Are the rivets in my bones not strong enough to hold?

There was a time in this nation of mine,
Forges flooded with light, we burned with pride.

In the shallows of your mind
A thought is rising like the tide;
A Constitution, all we have left,
Lost like a relic to the depths.

Like the fractures in the steel,
In the axle of the wheel,
Through my patriotic chest,
The treason spread.

There was a time in this nation of mine,
Forges flooded with light,
We burned,
We burned!
There was a time in this nation of mine,
Forges flooded with light,
There was
There was
There was
A time.
