Caged Tiger
Amid the chaos
Amid the storm
The dark clouds were adorned
By a dome of seven shades
And a silence prevailed
A stillness was proclaimed
The leaves, the petals stood amazed
While the birds flew in haste
As the sun shone on the cage
Where a tiger was in rage
Roaring, and Sighing while still in chains
Long forgotten was the valley and these lands
A storm arose in the flowing cascade
Making the dried leaves red by blood from a crusade
To dig up the key from the swamp
In hope that a devine hand will descend to help
And the chains will be broken
And the tiger will soon be running in the wild
Ferocious... notorious... with an incredible zeal
On the cliffs, in the meadows and deep in the woods
