Means of Sorrow



-I-
With all means of sorrow
They buried their precious dream
They threw the broken arrow
And moved away from the scene

-II-
The old, defeated leader said:
"Our nation must survive
We have to stay alive…"
But before he finished, he fell dead!

-III-
They didn't know what to do or where to go
They had nothing to eat or drink
They became savages, so
They had no time to hope or think

Life went on, day after day
Memories were forgotten and vanished
It was a price they had to pay
Since they realized that they were finished



-IV-
Dark is the future, pale was the past
How much time will this thing last?
Why can't we fly just like birds?
Hopeless questions, meaningless words
Dark is the future, pale was the past

-V-
However, someone from the third generation
Wanted to save his nation
When he was young he was so certain
That he, with them, could climb any mountain
He thought that patience with some love
Could bring the best life he dreamed of

At first he said: "We're moving, but a little slow"
He was facing the answer (No)
And he was always faced with (No)

-VI-
As he was lying, ready to die
He didn't allow anyone to cry
He only asked them to look at the sky
To feel the sun, to watch the birds
To listen carefully to his last words:


"I see crowds of people moving fast
They're pushed by anger, hunger and thirst
The huge volcano's going to burst!
Bright is the future, dark was the past"
Bright is the future, dark was the past

-VII-
With all means of sorrow
They buried their lovely dream
They threw the broken arrow
And moved away from the scene.

1998-2001
