BEAUTY IS NOT BEAUTIFUL WITHOUT BEAUTY


When beauty is gone
Brown daffodils will be skeletons of nature
Rivers will smile with empty stomachs
Mountains will dance naked to music of time
Roses will rot in the cemetery of love
Furrows of tears will stream down mourners' faces
Like floods in a raining storm


When beauty is gone
Love will be like an oasis in the desert
Peace a Bible in a communist country
And joy will be like a rubbish bin of sorrow
When beauty is gone
Life will be like a lonely telephone pole
Without a diamond engagement ring of communication


When beauty is gone
This world will stinks like an old shoe
Ugliness will be the pearl of beauty
Nature will be painted red with blood
Death will live to tell the tale
When beauty is gone
Everything will die


When a new day dawns
A night will set in a lonesome heart
Hope will melt like a cream in a black coffee
Headquarters of joy will close down
Peace treaty will be signed in the dungeons of hell
We will not sing the song of harmony in unison
We will not dance to the beat of life
When beauty is gone
