the inevitability of leaving lyrics
oh beautiful earth, mother dearest what has become of you lately?
have you been so lost in your own grief that you failed to notice the misery of others?
but you haven’t called men of integrity as sons of yours for a long time now, mother
tell me, do you already mourn the loss of their minds? does your soil hunger for their bones?

now these lesser sons of greater fathers are all that’s left to inherit this jewel
and in a cruel resemblance of life the stage was set for the play to begin

behold the spectacle of a kingdom dying in all its beauty and glory
a carnival of the macabre to appease the exotic taste of the rich
though history had its twists and turns, just to laugh at our mistakes
it still had one last brutal lesson left to teach

one last time i went to the shore to bury all my hate
but instead i buried my head in my hands and wept
i wept for the ones leaving
as hard as i did for those staying behind

now it’s time to bid my farewell as i have overstayed my welcome by years now mother
a soft kiss on the cheek before i leave and a broken promise of returning
