Welcome to the valley of dust <br />welcome to the valley of mist <br />strolling over the barren lands <br />meet the hounds of lust. <br /> <br />Bear the torch of progress <br />forget the path of love <br />pave the way for the millenium <br />and shoot the pigeons and doves. <br /> <br />For this is the land of demons <br />where vutures prowl the sky <br />and man gropes for the holes <br />under the blazing sky. <br /> <br />But a man is there on the stride <br />who transcends the lanes of darkness <br />Expands the bounds of nature <br />and holds the suns of pride. <br /> <br />Prem Tenzine Negi(Tr.)<br /><br />Harish k.
