about

A prequel to Dawn Goddess, Sun Chariot is the story of the death of the sun--a tale of complete annihilation. The ancient cosmic wheel that nourished crops, warmed us and illuminated the known world is pursued across the sky on its daily cycle until it is finally consumed by darkness and chaos.

lyrics

Sun chariot gives me life
Brings the day and wards off night
Feeds our crops and marks our time

Sun chariot, blazing fire
All-consuming celestial pyre
Lights this world and marks our time
Ancient wheel makes its climb

Ride across the open sky
The crushing darkness close behind
Each day the race begins again
Until that day the cycle ends

Extinguish light, the cycle ends
