That makes sense

Silence all around
Air as stiff as a tree
Sky is swirling
Over the decorated ground
No helping hands
To pull them out
Solemnly suffering
Underneath the confetti
Drenched with sorrow
Nothing is in sight
Continuous pain
Until the arrival
Of a better place
Where all will be set right
Oh happy day
Yes the woes shall end
Bur still a pity
That one must go through agony
In order to live in paradise
