Lyrics
They swept across the land
They (unspecified entities) moved extensively across the land.
They did not leave a thing
They left nothing behind.
They did not leave a person
They left no individuals.
A stone or a tree
They left no trace of natural or man-made elements.
They did not leave anything
They completely cleared everything.
They did not leave anything
Reiterates the absence of anything left by 'them'.
All is left is sand
Only sand remains in the aftermath.
All is left is sand
Reinforces the desolate nature of the land—only sand remains.
I remember, father
Personal recollection of the father.
I remember him
The memory of the father persists.
Every minute I remember
Intense and continuous remembrance of the father.
Every moment
Recalling the father at every possible instance.
Now I hate everyone
Feelings of disdain or hostility towards everyone.
Now I hate everyone
Repeated expression of negative feelings towards all.
Before, I used to love
A contrast—previously felt love for others.
Before, I used to love
Reiterating the previous state of affection for people.
One day, thorns shall grow

From their graves

I will be waiting

Standing
