He warned me not to go
To this place that we call home
He warned me that there is dark
That all is just the myth
That I will die in grief
That I’m choosing the wrong
But not listening I went on
Like a fallen angel
Betraying my own n saviour
And here now I realise
What actually I have lost
What all I sacrificed
For mere people, for mere feelings
Now here I am asking for his forgiveness
To take me back again
To his land
And let this soul wander
In the pool of peace and love.
