They herd in droves toward the blinding light
Knowing not the fate of their pursuits
Cataracts that last a lifetime
Skin burns and sores that refuse to heal
Fanatics spar over ritual areas
Absolve their bodies to this solar deity
Their flesh is scarred by the death inducing beams
Yet they fawn for more exposure
The risks thoroughly researched and detailed
There is no logic behind their ignorant devotion
The curse expands its grasp
The afflicted show their faces
Foolish people drawn to light
Paying the essence of their lives
Braggarts boast of their enlightenment
But the intelligent stay in the shadows
A race drawn to self harm
Inflicting their own end
A race spawned in cursed dawn
Arising to empyreal behest
No cure exists for this scourge
The darkness saves those who rise above
Their dying words still harbor patronage
Die beneath the solar god they served
Serve their curse
