Night Travelling Prince
Beyond the scary valley
After the clean sacred alley
I carry my veiled vagrant self
Like a monstrous and fleeing elf
Through the evil forest
I realize my supreme and costly errors
On the deep oceans
With no protective vaccines
I sail my sorrow
On the very witty vessel I had to borrow
I am the night traveler
Carrying a million evil under a black umbrella
I am cursed by the corrupt earth
To attract wandering woes henceforth
My spirit is sanctioned
Like a witch prison so old fashioned
My path as dark as my thought
Even the serpent to me not dare cough
I wail to my troubles
As I try to look at them through that plain goggles
I smile to hunger and worship thirst
And bless my enemies to die first.
Banished from my motherland
I become the scary stranger on the other land.
To children, I am a monster
To elders, I am a looser
To the outcast, I am a friend
To royals, I am a slave to lend
To the hunter, I am a prey
My outer suffering is a naked ray
Truly, for me you dare not define
Because with me they never choose to dine
My inner pain is dynamite
You deem infinite
My stars varnish
So my dim light I cherish
It is with a heavy deadly wood
That I strike the good
And wage war to the wise fool
Whether or not he tries to be cool
I strengthen my soul
And it feels like a rare coal
For the future is wicked
With my heart it trembles with a bell so creaked
And so I travel
Not very much aware who may tackle
In silent steps
The very silent footsteps
Behind the marvelous mask
Embedded with a mysterious task
Till I reach the cold coordinate
Where comes the trouble of the bastard syndicate
You know not who I am
Only the evil sultan can tell you what I really am.
