Those tears in my eyes, reminding me how to cry,
I've been faking all this time, mirror had a smile wry,
On this cold night when I see it all through my eyes,
I see all the phases of time, all the truth and the lies,

My eyes were closed but I could see through the mind,
Maybe I had to feel the pain god felt when he looked upon his child,
I could talk to the trees , I could change the winds and stop the waves,
But I couldn't change fate , I couldn't stop people from being slaves,

I see my grandfather dying , I know he doesn't want to live,
Wish I could hug him, I fear seeing him leave,
I see the motion of karma faster than the speed of light,
Humanity itself invited its end so now pays for the fight,

I could see the war of mahabharata and the conspiracy of caesar,
Hear the heart of criminal quivering in fear and that of a yogi chanting in leisure,
I could hear the cries of mother while giving birth,
Watch the child in the womb and its journey to the hearth.

And the next moment I opened my eyes to a storm in an ocean,
Darkness all around but could see a ship swaying, probably broken,
The dreadful ocean and cold winds, I felt my body losing the sync,
A milestone read the ocean was my mind and it was hope that was to sink.

Saw a huge wave advancing towards me, I felt it was my death,
I dared to smile and prayed happiness for my parents till the last breath,
I wished I could apologize to all the people I hurt, before this call,
I was searching for explanations and theories but now I knew it all.

Could distinctly see the wave engulf my ship of hope,
Never let the hope die, fight with all might, there's nowhere to elope,
Remembering all the mistakes I made, I knew I was going to have an ugly end,
Wasn't scared of dying, was just amazed how he had everything planned.
