Inti's Promise

I come from below

Rocks and sand.

For I have traversed

A faraway land.

Now watch me rise,

And feel my wrath:

The heat of my wake

And the light of my sight.

So begins my reign,

And so dies the night.

Now you can see,

All of our land.

The mountains you know

Like the back of your hand.

Now don’t you fear

All that is wild,

For now I am here,

I am with you my child.

Now watch me fall,

Below rocks and sand.

Follow my trail

To a faraway land.

The edge of the horizon,

The end of my path.

So ends my reign,

And so dies my light.

But don’t you fright,

For now I’ll give way

To a starlit night.
