Behold, a brewing disarray,
Ink stains the lentils, come what may.
What darkness stirs?
Oh, darkness reigns, in shadowed swirls.
Behold, a brewing disarray,
Ink stains the lentils, come what may.
Oh, in the lentils, shadows play.

He, a stranger, she, the mistress fair,
Why do clandestine meetings fill the air?
He, a stranger, she, the mistress fair,
Why do clandestine meetings fill the air?
When glances meet, a whispered plea,
The heart's bud blooms, wild and free.
A single key unlocks the hold,
Of nine chambers, stories told.
Oh, in the lentils, shadows play.
Oh, in the lentils, shadows stay.
Behold, a brewing disarray,
Ink stains the lentils, come what may.
Oh, in the lentils, shadows play.

She begged, "Oh, cruel one, do not depart!"
He whispered back, "Your wish, my heart."
No turban worn, no rent to pay,
He claimed her heart's estate that day.
Through eyes' guard, he slipped inside,
And in her heart, did he reside.
Oh, in the lentils, shadows play.
Oh, in the lentils, shadows stay.
Behold, a brewing disarray,
Ink stains the lentils, come what may.
Oh, in the lentils, shadows play.

The myna hears, the parrot speaks,
What unfolds, the future seeks.
What unfolds, the future seeks.
Break ties with them, their words untrue,
And now, to us, your bonds renew.
Do not entangle us in this snare,
Leave, begone, and disappear.
Alas, alas, alas, alas!
Your tantrums spice, a fiery mass.
Your tantrums spice, a fiery mass.
Your, your, your
Your tantrums spice, a fiery mass.
Oh, in the lentils, shadows play.
Oh, in the lentils, shadows stay.
Behold, a brewing disarray,
Ink stains the lentils, come what may.
Oh, in the lentils, shadows play.
