Lament

Ten thousand bitter years I've cried It turned to nothing, now I'm set to die When I said I want to ease the strain When you said you'd care for us I know I've never said it loud But now I yell that I need your palm It's over Is it over Raise your hand, I'm about to die How many times I've given you mine Is there a way to turn it back Is there a time to say it back loud I never gave, always took from you I never knew, always ready to burn I never gave, always took from you I never knew and got no clue What to know, what to say and do When to know, when to say and do I will never get to know 'Cause it's over Our life Our common simple life Our struggle, our common path
