The jaws of Apollyon drew nigh
Clenched with the fury of undone retribution
A terrible shade coiled the sky above
Gripping those who gazed upward with fear
'Twas a wretched, beguiling tumult
Inducing the beleaguered lost to dance
Spinning in a maddening frenzy
To a dionysiac rite long since forgotten
The sun, cloaked in red, set on the horizon
Resplendent with primeval majesty
This ancient crimson luminary
Once more taking its bow
