Field of Despair
The barren land that has failed us
to give anything back all this time,
while we wet it with our blood and sweat
digging it with bare hands till the bell tolls,
telling us it's time to give up all our hopes
time to get back to the losers camp and mourn our destiny...
and then suddenly,
we realised we weren't farming the barren land
to grow our crops nor our dreams,
we were just digging our graves
alas,
the land shall take back all that it gives.
