Kneel Down And Pray

Humanity bleeds in the claws of a sinister Dragon Life withers and twists like brittle leaves Breath becomes laboured and cough breaks forth Sounding like echoes heard inside a cave The castles we built of quicksand tumble down Man is forced to keep aloof from man As nearness turns a threat as for a rose That has got scarred by its own thorns People are locked within four walls And desperately look for doors of exit Men slip off into the abyss of death Not in hundreds, but in thousands each day Presaging our end can be as soundless As a droplet slithering down from a blade of grass As man and Science thus become powerless To decipher the hieroglyphics of fate, Stop shaking your fist in defiance at God But kneel down in humility and cry your heart out See Him as the sail and hull of your ship And trust the one who alone can calm the storm Let Him mercifully wash away the sins of the world Let us now knock down the handcuffs of hatred And break free of all shackles of greed and pride That, we like phoenix from the ashes, shall rise!
