Tongues wage till they can
Words flow till they can
How long can she shut her ears?
How long can she withhold her tears?
Gratitude forgotten
Love forgotten
Truth forgotten
Courage forgotten
Those she helped grow
Talk of her so low
Those she stood by
Waved her good bye
Alas, poor thing, now she sees
Justice fails
Injustice prevails
Truth fails
Untruth prevails
Courage fails
Cowardice prevails
Loyalty fails
Betrayal prevails
Knowledge fails
Darkness prevails
Alas, poor thing, now she sees
All that she stood for
All whom she stood for
Not a single sound, aloud,
When she cried alone
Alas, poor thing, now she sees
The dark world deserves not her light
She departs, unheard yet right
Alas, the dark world, now it sees.
It sees, now it sees.
