Darkness conquered

Hope was at a loss

The strong faltered

Dreams fell at a toss

The day of no tomorrow

A day of pure sorrow

Despair sang the sparrow

Seven lights raced

Their streaks marked the sky

Billions of hearts paced

Hope cast its dye

Powerful beings rose

At the hour of need

Stopping the raging star’s dose

An incredulous deed

Gods they were not

Immortals they refused

Seven Guides they chose
