And the moon, mirror of the sun,

Nightlight of the world

Drags a blanket of cooling sea,

Across the sand unfurls

In the night when the stars provide

A reason for man to strive

He reasons that's the reason

Let the stars in the firmament
Remain as bait
For the people whose only wish
Is to leave their home, let them wait
Their impatience is only matched
By a misunderstanding of their fate
Let them get their
Priorities straight
