Helios marches in his chariot of fire
Driving daily with vengeance from East to West
Chasing darkness from the royal blue sky
Flaming whip to push on his wild steeds
Is he Apollo in disguise
Bringing heat to summer months
Burns crops lacking water
No mercy from him
Drying up streams
Helios
God of
Sun
