Subtle is Life

Soulless sparrows of spring
Tangled the tyrant's teachings
Paused, he, to praise
A life long lived unknown.

Other-worldly waters
Cleansed the king's cold soul
Cried, he, to struggle
A life long lived unknown.

Stallions of the sword
White horses of the Lord
Emptied the emperor's word
In hellfire
In hellfire
Tried, he, to remember
His life long lived unknown.
