The Last Time The Sun Was Out

Tonight we ride the horse,
the horses of victory,
while light, to us, feels like,
ancient history.

When the last time the sun wan out,
it was even brighter than day,
and we were the only ones out,
out to play.

With the smell of my country,
and the sound of the drums,
we rode to the place,
the place of daily humdrum.

In the darkness of the nighttime,
we go searching for daylight,
where the night is the jailer,
and the day is a lost sailor...
