Summerday is gone
Listen to the evening wind
Singing tunes of tamarind
Into the setting Sun…
You lie in twilight sleep
Dreaming colours deep
Today all life is gone!

Look at the golden chalice –
Plight broken on the ground
Green fire blazin’ ’round
Where are your friends?
You see all hope
Lying broken on the slope
Today all life is gone!
