She lives in a land
She now lives in the land of dead
Where no birds sings any love song
No twittering over the windowsill
Only gloom and doom lingers
Filled with the recipe of hatred
She now lives in the land of dead dreams
Ones that were lively at a point of time
Now they are battered to death by ill will
No love to look forward to, no life ahead
Only a past filled with distant memories of love gone by
Butchered to death by her only lover, now gone away from her
She now lives in a land where hopeless shines in the sky
With its burning, its flaming up every little desire
She now sees no more dreams nor cries no pain
Her cries are heard as bleating and moaning as animal cry
Her sickness is mocked upon as attention seeking tacts
Now she has silenced every laughter and wiped every cry
She now lives in a grave cold, dark and dank
Filled with nothing
Don't wait to hear joyous song after snatching her soul away
You cant have trees growing on land where you sow no seeds
You cant keep reaping love from a heart by feeding it with hatred
She now sleeps silent in the land of no rivers, no chirping birds
