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.
