Was anyone around then?
Was there no one to caution?
When the deed is been done
Was there a person,was there no one?
I wonder where?
All the wise one have gone to
When the deed was done
When was the deed done?
Was it done at night?
Was it in the morning?
Or broad noon day?
I still wonder when
I wonder if the moon was aware
And the glowing star
When all was done
Deep in the flesh it has passed
Before we realised
Down in the bone it has penetrated
What a pity
Oh! the deed has been done
What a decay
What a ruin
Hmm, who are to pay
What can we say?
When the keepers
Were found sleeping
What else can we say?
When they are the say
That heaven will fall
Is not one's problem
All of us will pay
What can we say then?
When the wise men are ignored
When the eyes of the watcher
Have been trampled on
And the strength of the strong ones
Have been quenched with threat
The deed is fast spread
The impact kills gradually
Yet solution is yet known
The deed has been done
Remedy! Remedy!Remedy!
We all cry for
Restoration ! Restoration!
Our land cries for
