The Lesson
Fighting against the wrath of the wind
And loosing
Journeying into the heart of the storm
Still loosing
The night is closing in and hail is driving down
Most inhabitants are sound asleep
In this rain soaked mining town
Skills once possessed are now gone forever
All lost
Folk once employed to dig for minerals
Still lost
The wind strengthens and turns into a gale
Day attempts to invade the darkness
As figures outside, their faces remain pale
Give back to the land and renew the balance
Restore
Learn again to provide for those who rely
Restoring
