Cry me a River

Cry me a river

For these rivers from ages of darkness

Have run dry

So my dear stranger

Cry me a river

They well up these rusty eyes

For they’ve only seen decades of hatred

With only one wish of a wishful heart

To die with a smile

For there will be some one who will

Cry me a river

For the land is too red with blood spilled

The trees have skeletons for fruits

And the sky growls in anger and rage

In this mist of hell’s relentless fury

Cry me a river

For it’s been too long

Living in a loveless land

Under a red suns and a dreamless nights

Give me a reason

To believe in the world beyond

Full of love and liking

Give me a reason

To die with a smile

So my dear stranger…cry me a river
