A dawn rose slow and quietly from a womb of meaning Suddenly a barren face of agony was brought to light And it sang a cry of mankind, heart-wrenching threnody That grew to immense heights too dreadful to describe Still we stood with our eyes fixed into the ground Wishing we could be somewhere far away And the rain of tears burst from the skies upon us - The drowning, while shrieks beyond the centuries Pierced our souls to the edge of death The sun became our most dreadful enemy Our bodies burning, still never dying Wishing you never were stillborn with us
