In the Lands Across the Sea

In the Lands Across the Sea


In a village called Curiosity
In the forgotten lands across the sea
The crops were poor, the work was hard
Yet in the village there was no animosity
In a village called Curiosity

The villagers had no animosity
In that land of sands across the sea
Because they toiled day and night
And in their weariness, experience' complacency
The villagers had no animosity

While experiencing this complacency
In the demanding sands across the sea
A child was born in a humble home
And a boy named Same came to be
While experiencing this complacency

When the boy named Same came to be
In the shifting sands across the sea
He brought forth power to make the rain
And the village rejoiced in ecstasy
When the boy named Same came to be

As the village rejoiced in ecstasy
In the dwindling sands across the sea
The crops grew thick, of barley and wheat
And the villagers ate with glee
As the village rejoiced in ecstasy

Once the villagers ate with glee
In the verdant hills across the sea
They grew to be sad, fat, and weak
They no longer toiled in complacency
Once the villagers ate with glee

They no longer toiled in complacency
In the fresh green lands across the sea
And in their boredom, they learned greed
As they hoarded their crops selfishly
They no longer toiled in complacency

As they hoarded their crops selfishly
In the rotted lands across the sea
The village was tainted with discontent
And villagers warred for superiority
As they hoarded their crops selfishly

While warring for superiority
In the hostile meadows across the sea
The boy named Same begged the villagers to stop
But no one listened to his heartfelt plea
While warring for superiority

When no one listened to his plea
In the ignorant lands across the sea
The boy named Same died that day
And the pouring rains stopped instantly
When no one listened to his plea

As the pouring rains stopped instantly
In this violent land across the sea
The crops did wither away to dust
And the villagers mourned their idiocy
As the pouring rains stopped instantly

As the villagers mourned their idiocy
In this harshest of land across the sea
Their now-soft hands could not toil the soil
And the sands destroyed all ceaselessly
As the villagers mourned their idiocy

The sands destroyed all ceaselessly
In the lonely lands across the sea
In the empty hills and barren fields
There once was a village called Curiosity
The sands destroyed all ceaselessly
