TESTO DEL LIED

"Sunset"
di Catherine Riegger

The hour of ruin is begun
In glimmer of the western tide.
The golden lava of the sun
Floods down the cloudy mountainside

And brings a death of fire and pain
Those ancient cities have not known
Who perished underneath a rain
Of hissing rock and molten stone.

Death coursing with a swift delight
Shall overtake me as I stand
Before the coming of the light
Upon the burning western land.
