Analysis of Universal Thunder



Crying of fear.
There comes the wind.
Crying of anguish.
There come the tears,
And the desperation
For not being able to change the order.

Crying rain,
Crying tears.
Crying for the thunder,
Stronger in the mountains

Crying desperation.
So many dreams.
What a beautiful earth.
What an agony!

Ah...He hides among the trees.
He runs.
He falls.
Ah...he falls,
the hero of the poor,
the dreamer,
has succumbed.

The rain is descending over the tired earth.
The tears are arriving,
The tears of the poor.
Only they know.

Thunders of war.
And the man runs.
Only he knows.

He kisses God.
He kisses the poor.
He sings a song to the roses.

Ah... He smiles. That brautiful smile.
Ah... He sings. The beautiful song of mankind.
What Chorus of Children.

What a Lighted Candle
Looks after his dreams.

What woman hopes in the distance,
Trembling of fear?
There comes the wind.
Crying in anguish.

And the desperation
For not being able to change the order.
Crying rain.
Crying tears.
Crying thunder.
Crying mountains.
