I was born into this terror, Unsuspecting as I was Just a lifeguard child, Not aware of all the misery No idea of the blame this world already had to shoulder As an untold crime Came down and sealed my fate No premonition of the doom impending Not knowing of the strife for life to come Soon gone were the years of levity Eleven summers before darkness fell Keep this paper crane, one of a thousand There never was a guilt to burden myself My hopeless cry, it went unheard And unlike my, you knew there were no gods to save me You knew there were no god to save me Still no idea of the blame this world would have to shoulder
As for one last time I bid the cranes farewell Pa**ing by like timid ghosts Summoners of a placid world Never reaching me Masters of a peaceful life Moving on to stainless shores Never teaching me Now I lay my aching hands to rest As I bid my crane farewell And I wish for an echo for my forlorn life To be your melody See this paper crane, of a thousand There never was a guilt to burden myself My hopeless cry, it went unheard And unlike me, you knew there were no gods to save me All hope in vain, You just murdered them Banished the crane All hope in vain Banished the crane From the meadows of this life
