Greyhairs, Solar flares and Blackspots
I rise and I fall
to provide
for my family
Clocking in, to an endless shift
that pays only in reflections
They used to worship me, you know
Performing rituals in my name
Extracting their hearts
to be one with mine, once again
Now they take me for granted
My body continues
to fill with iron
My dimming light
will soon be consumed
and then they will weep for me again...
