This Light

Outside my window
in hemispheres of black and white
There's a half-moon hanging
in a cloudless sky
split by the sunlight
I've heard of the serpent sea
and the sea of tranquility
but from where I sit
these features are a fiction
born of the radiation
a fatally flawed mutation
saturnine in the half-light
full of heart but not half right
This light has nothing new to show
This light won't tell you where to go
You fight what you already know
This light makes the shadow grow
It's 260 degrees
on the bright side of the moon
could it be there was life there once
burned even as it bloomed
the heavenly inquisition
reducing us down to matter
the solar winds come in
and the ashes scatter
lost to the constellations
traces of our foundations
lit by celestial fire
and consumed on the pyre
This light has nothing new to show
This light won't tell you where to go
You fight what you already know
This light makes the shadow grow
It's sacrilege to speak ill about the sun
but love jumped off the ledge and grace took up the gun
We look through half-closed eyes and speak with serpent tongues
All our devotion is a battle to be won
This light has nothing new to show
This light won't tell you where to go
You fight what you already know
This light makes the shadow grow
