Earth's Anguish

Return! Return! The men You seek Are Dead Return to your Ashen Pagodas For now there will be no more bloodshed No more cries at night from the widows. The Widows! Where are the Widows? Lying next to their husbands bones Their bleeding souls cannot let go They have decided to live in misery And to eat grapes gone sour And to not see the sun Until their lives someone takes If the widows die when the Moon is High The Earth will mount its earthly horse And seek out the men at fault For with love they wooed power And forgot the power of Love Yes, the earth will sing a war song And the whole world will hear The devastating music And when the melody stops So will their Hearts as well.
