Drink

A dragon opened its mouth and released its breath Once again the wind blows from the east Angered, you can hear its temper in the windowpanes shudder Day in day out, the heat devastates the weak Dust rises up in skies Riding on locust wings Vigor spirals the drain Like vultures circling Dried up, the earth lies tired and worn My soul's grown weary with desolation I've muttered in prayer, called out in psalm My soul's grown weary, only my tears to drink I inhale dust like an addict My mouth is as dry as the well Oh heavens, receive these prayers Fabricate these cries into clouds The leaves curled up their nose and cursed the relentless surge Branches become brittle bones, trembling in the wind The veins drank up the last of earth's drip Roots retire, exhausted at their digging Dried up, the earth lies tired and worn My soul's grown weary with desolation I've muttered in prayer, called out in psalm The well is dried up, only my tears to drink Dried up, the earth lies tired and worn My soul's grown weary with desolation I've muttered in prayer, called out in psalm The well is dried up, my soul is parched At last a change in the seasons The life turned bitter will be made sweet again Blessed the wind that heaves the clouds in The life turned bitter will be made sweet again
