Orange Eye
Oh, Bane you look upward
Toward the fine, orange moon
Insane intensity and a
pleasant peace
As the weather vane
Shifts the cool breeze
brings the story untold
We never know what comes our way
But we fight for life anyway
Like the mother who told us
To be good and strong
And the wise man-
We listened to his song
Of warning when
the day comes that there
Is only a sky of blood
While the moon looks on
With its orangish eye
