Children of the Night - Run

Under the veil of night

Engulfing the sorrow around her, she flows

Knowing not where to go

Bitter, Cold, Wounded she flows

Sprinting across the paddy fields

Ram runs faster than the wind

Crying out in unison, torches held poised

The mob leaves him no choice

Frightened out of her skin

Death lurking in every corner

Gauri holds her breath,

For as long as she can remember

Society spares no one

Survival of the fittest, may I quote

Hunt them down, spill their blood

Scream the crowd, pelting stones at their faces

For the weak children of GOD

Have no place in this world anymore

Under the veil of night

Engulfing the sorrow around her, she flows

Knowing not where to go

Bitter, Cold, Wounded she flows

Window of Hope

In this labyrinth am lost forever

The Monsoon winds, a promise made

For a drop of water I stayed,

But now I see the fire burning high...

Hiding under olive branches is...

A beast chained down with ropes of steel

Eyes of fire staring down at me
Tying me down with every breath

Daring me to fly again…

For every hope seems a luxury

Too good to be true...

Free from the expectations of all around me

Free from the society eating into me
Free from the world growing around me

To a place I can feel safe again...

To sing and dance to my heart’s content

I forever long…

Not knowing if this place can ever be found

Not knowing if this place did even exist

I wait in silence, hoping to see the light

For hope is all I have…
