It was the night, where the moon was blur,
It was the night, where the light was dim,
It was the night, where everything was diminishing.

Although I kept myself imperishable
I knew it wasn't the time to lament over the mournful issue,
But all I could see was just extirpation and nothing else.

Could I ever see the dawn of mankind?
Could I ever see children playing in the park?
Could I ever see the road filled with cars?
Could I ever see the cafes filled with glee?
Could I ever listen to the clattering of birds?
Could I ever see the pavement filled with people giggling around and squabbling about trivial matter ?

Never had I thought that a night could change so much,
A night filled with dispute and agony,
A night which brought the beginning of the end.
