The sun is brightly shinning The day is peaceful and calm But in his heart is an endless groaning An internal battle – man against man He cannot smile, he cannot see the light For those men inside always fight.
Bright stars paint the skies The moon glows in men’s favor But this man by night cries He’s lost everything – even his honor But in the night he finds some solace For the darkness hides his face
Other men look forward to new days But this man is tormented by the sun's rays His face is burrowed by those endless streams Which never cease – not even in his dreams He longs and sighs for the rain To mask all those tears and pain
But the rain seldom comes, it never comes yet the tormenting flame always burns Will his wells run dry, will he ever cease to cry? 'What is lost,' he reflects 'is already lost!' Why then must he fight with this ghost, Will he live to forever suffer, or must he die?!
