THE RUINS

In this fort I had killers around
Who stalked me without a sound…
With daggers in hands and posing as friends
They breached the lands where I was found
Where are they? Now all is gone…
Without a trace, in the ruined palace
Here I am all alone

What took me over for all this while?
All has turned into this formless pile…
Everything is desolated, absolutely annihilated
In dust and devastated by something purely vile
Where is it? Now all is gone…
From earth’s face, in the ruined palace
Here I am all alone

Something I wanted to hide
Something within, not outside
That came out and… roamed on this land
Ate my each friend who stalked my side
Whence it came? Now all is gone…
This sorry place, in the ruined palace
Here I am all alone
