distance is measured in time

"ishq karoon
ya karoon ibadat"

the oceans flow around the world,
carrying amazonian messages
to the desert sand.

once we tire of this puppet show,
that our hearts put up every night,
we shall head to the seas
to wash away our sins.

but the darkness of the water
will give you peace,
and claim a life on another shore.

and i shall burn down our world,
only to leave behind a sign
that we were once loved.

be warned, my darling,
it is better to have loved and lost
than to have never lost at all.
