Lament

Where have you wandered, my only child?
Why are you not coming back?
Your mother is crying her eyes out
And I, in my dreams, hear your voice
Father, will you take me away?
Father will you take and save me from my fate?
Father, will you take me away?
Father will you take and save me from my fate?
Wanted to go look for you a hundred times
But I couldn’t leave her alone
The end of the world ruined our home
Yet didn’t destroy our hope
Acid rain is pouring down
On the caravans of shadows
Once they used to be humans
Dying of too much choice
Devoid of trust and empathy
They were passing each other
Now together with raised hands
In tears they call out at the sky
Father, will you take me away?
Father will you take and save me from my fate?
Father, will you take me away?
Father will you take and save me from my fate?
Father, will you take me away?
Father will you take and save me from my fate?
Father, will you take me away?
Father will you take and save me from my fate?
