"A Mothers Sorrow" (you won't waste your time)

As the sun's rays begin to light the sky,
A lone lady is heard to cry

She trudges across the baking sand
She holds a blood-drenched shirt in her hands

A headless body lies at her feet,
Uncontrollably she begins to weep

This was her son who was killed yesterday,
She looks at him and begins to pray

Her mournful cries fill the sky,
O how life went passing by!

For three days he could drink nor eat
Under uncontrollable heat

Before his lonesome eyes,
He saw how friends and relatives died

How his baby son was killed in his hands
How a well-loved brother died near the river banks

How his nephew was cut to tiny pieces
How were orphaned his little nieces

But the lonely lady walks along,
Her lonely spirit walks on and on

Across the blood-stained golden sands,
Across the wild and lonely lands

Crying and weeping she walks along,
Her spirit just walks on and on…
