Traveling Trouble
Traveling
trouble
An
unwanted
guest of
the living
On the
air back
you riding
Right in
the heart
of the
sea you
sailing
Virgin
land a
place
you
resting
Living
road a
path you
threading
Your
totality
snap the
world in
unison
From the
sky's
wing
coast
down
your
terror
Ravaging
the
commoners
- your
daily
horror
A siege
to the
peace
And killing
it in its
piece
Oh
Traveler!
Drum of
fear you
beat in
the
living's
heart!
Every
nook the
home
you dwell
From
coast to
coast
your
danger tell
The
smoking
line of
your
speed
a
dreadful
wind the
living
dread
and shield
The
venomous
sound of
the past
cannon, a
sore the
living kill
to nurse
and feed.
Blind eye
a sight to
the
sacrifice
Appeasement
and plea
ignite
your
flaming
dice
With the
pure rain
of fire
And the
timely
sun of
pain
Do not
dwell
here too
soon.
