Lyrics

On his back he lay
With his eyes to the sky
Free, his pain released
From his earthly ties
From his children's cries
From the fear and the cold
In this world of lies
Her tears came fast
And her words came slow
Like Mirabai
With tragic love
In her pain she wept
From day to day
In the haze of her love
She would never obey
The Purana code
She began to stray
In the pain of the sun
In the heat of midday
The blood ink in red
On the paper she penned
To the one that she would never see
And then with her veil pulled tight
She crossed the bridge again
Over the river of tears
Over what might have been
Like a distant diwa
On a lotus leaf
Drowned as she was
In the paani of grief
And in the blood red dust
The flames grew higher
Unbound by the rage
Of the funeral pyre
She uttered no breath
No tear, no sigh
As the crescent moon
Rose into the sky
