Black Clouds Gather |
Black clouds gather |
Small drops are born and whirled down |
They splash against the cold ground |
Perplexed and ignorant of what to come |
Engulfed by a stream and carried away by the current |
All attempts to get away are in vain |
And the stream just keeps going, keeps growing |
A chaotic ride in the torrent of life |
The moment we are born we begin to die |
Mortal souls longing for salvation |
A carnival of mindless and blind forms the world |
Lying, drying, dying |
Crushing against sharp rocks the drops are shattered |
And cast up in the blue sky |
Struck by rays of light they evaporate and disappear |
Nothing ever changes |
Small drops drown among millions of others |
In their search for an explanation |
Thousands of archaic lies disguised as solutions |
Save from absurdity |
Searching for meaning |
Striving for innocence |
Following the prescribed |
The only thing that gives strength |
The moment we are born we begin to die |
Mortal souls yearning for salvation |
A carnival of mindless and blind forms the world |
Lying, drying, dying |
Black clouds gather… |
