Life is like the laws of the Medes and the Persians,
But i am not your mother! !
Darius of the Medes and Cyrius of the Persians,
I am thrown into the lion's den of love;
And until the ancient of days come,
I will lead on to inspire you.
I am not your mother but,
The care taker of the River Ulai;
And i am in the province of Elam to help you grow,
And like the laws of the Medes and the Persians.
Over the river of love i stood and watched,
And sleep fled from my eyes like a thief! !
For, i saw pllows on the wrists of men.
