Midday Eclipse

Faces turned up in awe and wonder As the moment of totality draws near [Pre-Chorus] An eerie calm, the light now thins A celestial dance, the show begins Thrill of the dark that daylight steals This rarest sight, almost surreal [Chorus] When the shadows creep Skies in silent submission Darkness complete [Verse] I stood beneath the shroud at midday Underneath the sun's stolen crown The world holds its breath And dreams lay down in slumber deep Whispers of the cosmos, secrets they keep [Pre-Chorus] As whispers rise, a hush falls o'er the ground A curtain draped, no need for sound With hearts a-pounding, time's at a stand In this twilight zone, a shadowed land Our eyes to the spectacle, cold in its prime In this temporal theft, this dance with time [Chorus] Sky's darkened heart beats slow and heavy Eclipsed by might, a world unsteady [Bridge] Touch the void as the stars confide In a universe vast, on this cosmic ride Stars align in a silent ballet Draping the noon in the hues of grey [Verse 2] Mystic veil of the midday night drapes the sun, an enigmatic sight Moon's caress, a tender theft Leaves the sky of light bereft
