A haunting journey toward hope and survival.
Song Lyrics
වාළුකාවේ දැවෙන විහඟුන්
කතරේ සොයනා
ක්ෂේමයේ නගරේ
අහස කලතා
ඔවුන් සොයනා
ක්ෂේමයේ නගරේ
රුඳුරු ගිනිසිළු
ඔවුන් සිඳලයි
කතරේ මරුවැල් ඔවුන් කැඳවයි
ඉතිරි වූ ඒ ළයේ ජීවය
මිරිගු සේයාවකට රැවටෙයි
මිරිඟු දඩයම
අරඹනා විට
තුඩැඟි රැදි ඒ ළයේ ජීවය
වාළුකාවක දමා තනිකර
යලිඳු පියඹයි සොයා ක්ෂේමය
