I see the sun setting,
behind those buildings.
I see the wild rays,
hide behind those roofs.
The old sun sets,
behind these new minars.
As it slowly sets,
The sky darkens with rage,
Raging,
Why hadn't it stayed,
Why had it left it,
Left it alone
To deal with this unknown world,
It couldn't ask her again,
The sun had set.
The rage was soon dismissed by gloom,
The clouds approached,
The rain came pouring.
The sky was broken;
Howling for the sun to return,
But,
The sun had set.
