The Dying Sun King

The Dying Sun King.

17th September 2001

As summer slowly slips away, the Sun God starts to pale. Nature's bounty reveals itself, in crown's of golden hues, and all bear witness to the coming of the Dark Goddess.

The Dying Sun King.

Harken all, hear these words.
For behold our Father, the Sun King is dying,
And all of Nature is in mourning.
From the skies the Earth is weeping,
Out of the North, dark clouds are flowing.
Across the land, chill winds are blowing,
In cool autumn mornings, winter comes calling.
Harken all, and heed these warnings,
The realm of the Dark Goddess is coming.

Earth spirits decked in gold,
Bow down as the year gets old.
Witness the fury of winter to behold.
Sky spirits, oh travelers bold,
Flee south as the day turns cold,
Before winter's grip takes hold.
Across Earth's great mantle, its bounties untold,
John Barleycorn comes calling, to avoid the cold,
As the Winter Maiden's dance unfolds.

Alternate Version

The Sun God dying
Nature in mourning
Earth is weeping
Dark clouds flowing
Chill winds blowing
Cool autumn morning
Winter comes calling
Dark Goddess is coming
