hundreds of years from generations, transcending always below, never equal under white-washed pavements dried fragile bones hollow skulls and locked jaws unremembered and unloved under white-washed pavements lost with tied hands stuck, bound to the land because of the unlucky man under white-washed pavements she scratches the walls in vain for air and a bed of flowers shackled to bed -- always restless under white-washed pavements breathless, caught in his hands the contrast, it enthralls no choice but to obey under white-washed pavements she screams in empty pillow cases his favorite song to hear -- her song of desperate hope resounds under white-washed pavements

Under White-washed Pavements
hundreds of years from generations, transcending always below, never equal under white-washed pavements dried fragile bones hollow skulls and locked jaws unremembered and unloved under white-washed pavements lost with tied hands stuck, bound to the land because of the unlucky man under white-washed pavements she scratches the walls in vain for air and a bed of flowers shackled to bed -- always restless under white-washed pavements breathless, caught in his hands the contrast, it enthralls no choice but to obey under white-washed pavements she screams in empty pillow cases his favorite song to hear -- her song of desperate hope resounds under white-washed pavements
