Seven Times Seventy Seven
“Seven Times seventy Seven”
Locked inside a room behind a wooden door;
A young man is imprisoned there; who will be free no more.
You can often hear him screaming; behind the walls so thick;
And you may often hear the clicking, as at the lock he picks.
He’s young and quite ill tempered; wearing vengeance like a badge;
You can hear him yelling let me out; I can handle this he brags.
It’s true when he was leader; very few would cross his path;
But the other one who’s part of him; is offended by his wrath.
So the thinker takes his chances; he’s prepared to mend his wounds;
After all he has imprisoned; he who could bring doom..
He gives no weight to retributions; for he walks a narrow road;
He must not be distracted; for his life is to be showed.
