1. We reached out to you with love, but you cut us off,
We kept our promises, but you betrayed us,

2. We purified our affection for you, but you abandoned us,
We raised you up, but you diminished us,

3. We aspired to be close to you, but you estranged us,
We loved you, but you hated us,

4. We turned to face you, but you were bored by us,
We made you kings, but you wronged us,

5. We gave you our obedient attention, but you evicted us,
We nurtured you, but you weaned yourselves from us though we thirsted,

6. We hoped for your compassion, but you had no mercy,
We overlooked your harshness, but you turned us away,

7. We thought well of you, but you did evil,
We did not reproach you, but you reproached us,

8. We made you the talk of the age, but you forgot us,
We were content with none but you, but you exchanged us for others,

9. We shall be patient, for time brings change,
We shall requite you as you have treated us,

10. We stand amazed at you, confused,
We shall repay you for your past actions,

11. We have no complaints if we repay you,
We have drawn as close to you as you drew to us,

12. Time will judge, and will decree,
What you have determined for us.
