When He Laughed

當人微笑時，他被世界所愛；當他大笑時，世界反而懼怕他了。－《漂鳥集》299-泰戈爾
The world loved man when he smiled. The world became afraid of him when he laughed.

[Verse]
The world loved man when he smiled
His heart so pure his soul so mild
Gentle eyes so open wide
Love was there it couldn't hide

[Verse 2]
But when his voice began to rise
A thunder echoed in the skies
The laughter broke the fragile night
Fear crept in with all its might

[Chorus]
When he laughed the world did shake
Hearts would tremble and then break
A joy turned dark a twisted fate
Laughter's echo sealed his state

[Verse 3]
In the echo of his glee
Shadows danced no light to see
Silent whispers filled the air
Faint and cold like a distant stare

[Verse 4]
Still they loved him when he smiled
Innocence like a carefree child
But the laughter changed the tune
A haunting voice beneath the moon

[Chorus]
When he laughed the world did shake
Hearts would tremble and then break
A joy turned dark a twisted fate
Laughter's echo sealed his state
