Dance On the Sharp Edge of a Sword

To be a leader of a certain place,
It means you are in danger 
Not a single moment you can keep you silence 
You can be assassinated anywhere.

Either you do good or bad jobs,
You have to carry risk on your heads
You will always be followed by mobs 
There is no escape from their hands.

Your own shadow can leave you alone,
It's better don't stick with power 
The power can be ended soon 
The greedyness of power can't last forever.
