Swept Away lyrics

On a summer's day

Unnamed and undated

I lie in the green

A grassy bound bed

Wounded so severely

The pain screaming

The numbing cold

In a hot, humid jungle

The rain it fell

It struck upon my face

With stinging force

And the deluge pouring

Swept away welling tears

There lying, staring up

Unable to duly escape

Disabled by mortal link

Amid breaks and batters

A clump of humanity

Soaked all through

Washed in cleansing rain

Purification rites cascade

The sweat and the blood

Scoured away in rivlets

Anticipation, preparation

For that transformation

To the world boundless

Bliss and refuge

Beyond the grey skies

Beyond the monsoons

Beyond the travesties

That ignorance has made

Gasping for the hope

Wide-eyed aspirations

Afar the regrets

I see the green canopy

Dulled by the curtain

That wipes the slate

Of the ere's combined

By its transient denizens

I hear them coming

To show me the way

To another world

Such an ambition

Merited? Unknown

A meager man

With no great name

Virtuous and true

Given to fault

Prone to humility

Violence following

Minimize the suffering

That is war's essense

The troops they find

The wreck of a man

They are afraid

Mortality gleams here

They call for a Doc

Standing, stooped

Soaked in compassion

Tending their chance

To find a purpose

To defeat death's bounds

Souls self renowned

Silence speaks out

Breaking in afar

The wopping thumps

They cut the air

Penetrating all

The vibration within

My chest quivering

Gingerly scooping

Tenderly carrying

Slung in a poncho

Remains contained

Speeding away aloft

To earthly salvation

Shadows blustering

Grasses fluttering

Nameless faces

Memories traces

Brought back again

To a world of pain

To world of sorrow

To a world to repay

Strangers teaching

Deeds a preaching

Changing the morrow

Returning debts owed

Kindness and mercy

The merits of men

Deeds sans decoration

A nameless summer day

Hand that grasps the air

A voice that mutters Mom

Amidst the carnage there

In the charge of God and men

Eyes filled with tears

Nothing but questions

A sentient soul in pain

The blessings of living

Reaffirming breath yet

Such joy amid the aches

To stare up in the sky

And again see the shining sun
