"In the Shadow Of The Midnight Sun"

Our generation’s midnight sun rises

above the Eden we’ve rejected twice;

a place where goodness darkens into ice.

And blind in the land of the midnight sun

we open our eyes to shadows at dusk;

we’re the gold leaf that filigrees a tusk.

And when the shadow of the midnight sun

blocks out the light that should be flooding in,

we embrace everything once labelled ‘sin’.

And wearing nothing but the midnight sun

our sunlit love eclipses the eclipse

and passion melts the ice upon our lips.
