I must serve them because alas, such are the ways of the clouds
I gather worms although alas, such are the ways of the clouds
Why must I subject myself to your experiments
I adorn thy statues since alas, such are the ways of the clouds
Please help me, for I drown slowly like a fish
I float merrily while alas, such are the ways of the clouds
I plead of thee for a breadcrumb, starving while my masters feast
They believe me their mindless servant for alas, such are the ways of the clouds
My parched mouth begs for life-giving water as I flee my masters
They chase me far for alas, such are the ways of the clouds
I cannot run much longer please help me
As I hide in the roots, they pass by because alas, such are the ways of the clouds
They dump buckets of acid on the lands, smoking me out
I take up the lost dagger and fight them but alas, such are the ways of the clouds
Beating them back with the almighty shield of sorrow
I fall beneath their power for alas, such are the ways of the clouds
They take my soul, leaving a husk
I continue my eternal servitude and forget my past for alas, such are the ways of the clouds
My flesh and bones evaporating and leave behind a vapor
I am a cloud and I am selfish for alas, such are the ways of the clouds
I lose myself, I forget my roots
I forget my humanity, for alas, such are the ways of the clouds
Now a cloud, I continue as such
Miserable, missing what I cannot remember for alas, such are the ways of the clouds
All I remember is Juliana
Mourning me for alas, such are the ways of the clouds
