How long?

We passed the temple of knowledge
Walking through the ages
Taking the reins of transformation
Touched the heart of life
Transforming love into hate

We crossed the valley of wisdom
Like a cloud of hungry locusts
Taking the reins of destruction
Devour the beauty of life
Transforming happiness into gloom

We crossed the seas of virtue
Navigating between the waters of reason
Having in mind the dark aura of death
Poisoning life’s blood
Killing our dreams and hopes

How understand what is sanity?
I see plenty of death hovering over the world
And in his spiked chest spears concrete
How long will we continue?

Hear their cry and feel your pain
With the agonizing guilt
How much more can we endure?
How long will we continue?
