A new rock tossed each day into my haversack
The tremble is ceaseless, there's none to watch my back
In each step is born a renewed pain and misery
Where lies not a rose but a thorn in the rosery.
Hope has abandoned my cheeks to dry
My throat is sore from its long lost cry
All life is lost just the heart that beats
My chances it leaves yet my faith it cheats
The missiles have torn my once soft sail
I'm standing in a famine with a black-watered pail...
Whom can I seek, where can I go;
What energy have I left within my core?
Because now the dust is unshakable; I'm gone ,I'm gone
There's no new moment, I cannot be reborn!
