Mortal Bones

Danced through the sky Bathed by atomic light Higher that they climbed Quicker that they died By a mountain made by man Comes a flame from the sand On the ground below Stood the kin of the crow Casting mortal bones Destiny unfolds Seated on a mountaintop Born of fire, living god Out in the fields Before Isis they kneeled Unsung god from mars May you sleep beneath the stars Bowed before an empty throne Human race now alone
