Fake Lily promises
As I lay here on the ground
The hills aside tremble around
I lost everything to which i had been bound.
The lilies above were promised to me
Even when my hands never asked thee
The seeds grew, chanting my name
Now why do they tremble upon my frame?
Now I lay here on the ground
Watching the hills aside tremble around
Indeed i lost everything to which i had been bound.
The dead lilies have scorn
Yet the seeds are born.
