Date unknown (probably late 2010s)

Trees like dead fingers rise up from the ground

Searching for solace that cannot be found

Burnt land surrounds them, still dry from the rain

Provides them no respite nor deadens the pain

Winds like the ocean envelop the sun

Ending the journey for everyone

Only the blind will see past the charades

Rejoice in pain while the memory fades

Death like a gate opens wide to release

Deep from its innards the servants of peace

Exit the bondage to life at the end

Bathed in a brightness you can't comprehend

No bed but the ground

No friend but the sound

No life but to die

No shelter but the sky
