The hands grope in the darkness,
The darkness created by those, Those who are Lords over the land The land defiled by the darkness. The Lords live in a sort of light, A light that can illuminate all the hands. But the hands are kept away from the light, So they keep groping. The hands that at last see the light Are transformed into new Lords. The new Lords create more darkness And more hands keep groping. This land burdened by our darkness Used to have its own light, the original light, Until a strange light was imposed on it, And the stranger created the darkness. Until such a time when the people Are able to reinvent an original light To outshine the Lords' light, They are doomed to perpetual groping.
