Yearning for better times
Waiting for peace
Lost and alone
Destitute with disease
Nothing can measure
My longing for a release

Haven’t I suffered enough?

I am forgotten to you
The sun shines shortly
The rain dies slowly
The crop grows lowly

I am impure with their blood
Engulfed in hatred
Raging through me like a flood

You left me in a hurry
Never to wonder of me
Leaving me this fury

This was your degradation
Even the mere memory of it
Parishes with every generation

I was once the pride in my day
Regal beyond any time
Can never be measured
I suffer still
For not being treasured.

I don’t want your pity
For not being remembered
Remain in your cold city.

I was never this torn
I was the strongest in the East
I will always be the HORN
And you became my Beast.
