Lakshimi’s Tears

Track 10 from Over the Land of Rivers

“Lakshmi’s Tears” is a hymn for the forgotten—
a story of a home swallowed by flood,
a family abandoned by fortune,
and a goddess whose blessings turned to grief.

This track moves through the ruins of a life once held together by hope:
lanterns that warmed winter nights,
shrines that whispered promises,
fields that once fed generations now cracked and dry.

The river becomes both thief and witness—
stealing hearth and memory,
carrying away the songs of mothers,
leaving behind only dust and the echo of prayers unanswered.

Lakshmi’s tears fall like shattered gold,
staining the land with the weight of hunger,
loss,
and the quiet endurance of those who continue to rise
beneath her sorrow.

This is a song of famine, faith, and survival—
a reminder that even when fortune turns her face away,
the human heart keeps beating,
keeps breaking,
keeps blooming beneath the goddess’s tears.
