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.
