GREAT SOUL IN MY COUNTRY 2 © 2008

I just wanted to be happy, but by a hair's breadth it slipped away,

I do not know where I failed, only that I squandered what life gave me.

The best opportunity fled, lost in the infinite,

And now, all that remains are many screams, in restricted silence.

To recover the time that has gone,

Only affliction remains to console what the soul destroys,

The party in my crying, a dance of sadness,

Where tears are the only certainty.

What was meant to be will never return,

And in the pain of loss, only loneliness will remain,

But even so, I cry, and in the party of my sorrow,

I find solace, even if colourless.
