Descent from the Ivory Tower

Refugee in a tower of agony
Hungry for ceaseless beauty
In love with eternity
Refugee in a tower of agony
In an early, rainy morning
When the birds started singing
He woke into a vision crying
In an early, rainy morning
Stepping down the hill slowly
Pondering over his troubles calmly
He was seeking for a canopy
Stepping down the hill slowly
As the uncertain end nears
Rocks, trees, leaves, rivers…
None but One hears his fears
As the uncertain end nears
In need of a fundamental change
Past life and fears scream with rage
Ivory tower is no different than a cage
In need of a fundamental change
Not knowing the final destination
In the turbulent life-story ocean
Re-discovering a one-to-one relation
Descent from ivory tower becomes Ascension
