Lament

Where have you wandered
My only child
Why are you not coming back?
Your mother is crying her eyes out
And I
In my dreams
Hear your voice

Father, will you take me away
Father will you take and save me from my fate
Father, will you take me away
Father will you take and save me from my fate
Wanted to go
Look for you

A hundred times
But I couldn’t leave her alone
The end of the world ruined our home
Yet didn’t destroy our hope
Acid rain is pouring down
On the caravans of shadows
Once they used to be humans
Dying of too much choice
Devoid of trust and empathy
They were passing each other
Now
Together
With raised hands
In tears
They call out at the sky

Father, will you take me away
Father will you take and save me from my fate
Father, will you take me away
Father will you take and save me from my fate
