Death of a golden age

This heart is boundless

It is a sea at dawn

Covered by the sky at dusk

It is filled with all the pain of the earth

All the suffering children

Are screaming within this heart

And all the traumatised soldiers

Lay dead here

In their tears

Their faces covered with blood

In the shock of war

In awe of life 

Entombed in caverns 

As the fish in the sea

Whispers to the bird in the sky, 

Come hither; 

As the tear fills the ocean 

This heart is filled with 

The earth and the sky 

In the great Babylon 

And beyond

Where death awaits 

Still is the heart 

Dark is the night 

As birth and rebirth 

Kindles the flame 

For life and ultimately 

The death of a golden age
