A Ploy Of The Devil ~

When the night swallows the light on the earth, And when silence surrounds everywhere, The darkness covers purity like the tide upon tides, A lustful devil slowly uncovers, like fragrance in the air, He appears upon the mountain and runs through the river; The mist floats across his breast, And the rises his head majestically above the world, And when he speaks like a rumble in the jungle, his voice rolls over the plains like silken roll, and his wishful thinking flies with the wings, In the faraway land where people are waiting with candles to ignite and open decently packed corked bottles, Music to dance to the tunes of pride, arrogance, and pomp. The whole night this drama will go on in emptiness Living in a confused state to ponder when the dawn breaks.
