about

The scrunching rhythmic pulse represents the slow and failing heartbeat and footsteps of the poet. The pleading vocal speaks of the bleak and hostile environment of desert life.

lyrics

Will you hear me tell the news of distress
Or content yourself with reports received?
Endlessly, under a scorching sky,
Up and down the land I have marched.
Our desert crying out for help,
Can give no rain to our stricken town.
Cry

Many’s the widow roaming the squares,
The orphan, suffering almost blind,
Calling you, calling, choking its’ last
As if blighted by demon or hurt by man,
Looking to you for a father now,
Like a nestling, unfledged, that cannot fly.
