Sorrow in the Sunflower Land

Beneath the three-barred cross, on her knees

She prayed and wept in the field of wheat

With blue eyes, begs the sky for an answer

She now lives in the world underneath

***

Flowercrown woven into her chestnut hair

White silk dress her mother used to wear

And as the vultures are getting rewarded

Her prayers fall back empty and bare

***

They knocked down her wooden door

Held her down to the cold marble floor

Tore her clothes and stripped her naked

Trembling with rage, for them she’s just a whore

***

Sealed her lips and tied her wings

Covered her feathers in dark red ink

Left scars that her body is hiding

Angels suddenly lost all reasons to sing

***

She lay down with her face to the floor

Finally rested her body, tired and sore

In their eyes was nothing but anger

Punished her for being part of the war

***

There, a young girl lost her hope

’Cause heaven left her all alone

In a world torn into pieces

Silently cried this snowy dove

***

God turned away his sight in tears

‘Cause we did not speak out of fear

We pretend the one beside us is a stranger

Innocence is left with blood and muted screams

***

For Eden is far from the East

There was unleashed that angry beast

Earth trembles as its roaring

Hell is setting the table for its final feast

***

Feathers, skin, all down to the bone

They cut down that snowy dove

And while we watched and remained silent

Golden fields are covered with dead souls
