Echoes in the Abyss

I'm a pearl in a seashell, but for the world, nothing 
Just like those stars, which at a full-moon night, are nothing.

As wind deceives a little leaf, it falls down dancing 
on the mud, others play clarion, it gets nothing 

Heard that the shine of your Gazelle eyes embarrassed the
Moon last night, for in front of you her light was nothing

I dream to walk on sand hand in hand beneath the stars
Watch the dawn at shore, but my dreams to you are nothing

Your love for me should've been enough for me O’ Lord 
But my cravings for more always lead me to nothing 

In desert I walk, follow a track apart from all 
But instead of Oasis, it takes me to Nothing 

Death could be our mother to the other world, but we
can't be gods there either______all this Labor for nothing

Now you stand here Paghunda, confuse, melancholic 
In the middle of Abyss, in center of nothing
