Why is that everything is so dark and deep, The world around me seems to sleep. The hares don't spring, the birds don't sing, The old oak's branches are smothering. Why is that everything seems so eerie, This Soulful melody, I sing to thee. Why is that all our hearts are shallow, Burning truths, no throat can swallow. No love for you, nor love for me, Often do I hear the cry of melancholy. Why is that true love is never set free, This soulful melody, I sing to thee. | Why is that innocence fades with age, Communal shades by the flick of a page. Death and desolation, all due to vanity, Religion gives way to insanity. Why is that peaceful, we'll never be, This soulful melody, I sing to thee. Why is that the world reeks of ignorance, Oh Master, return and help us cleanse, The world of all the filth that reigns, The prodigal son lies tied in chains. Why is that the truth, one can seldom see, This soulful melody, I sing to thee! Pic Credits - Vishal Acharya |
