What seems to be
May not be so.
Rampant times
Come and go.
Beware of distant rumblings.
But do not be quick to war.
Neither believe what is said.
We have heard the lies before.
Said to stall for time
To execute a hidden plan.
Then with lighting's speed
Straight to the heart of man.
When you see the waves
Passing on the placid sea.
It matters not how many
Only how large they'll be.
What is small
Can much larger grow.
But just watching and waiting
Will prove too late to know.
But know for sure that evil lurks
In the heart of man.
And the Devil has many servants
To carry out his plan.
For sure beware of the saintly cause
For which many a man will die.
Herein lies great danger
Which you cannot deny.
But you can see the danger here.
It's not wrapped in friendship's cloak.
Greater danger lies concealed.
With uneasy dependent trust and hope.
From the eastern shores
Prepare soon for a mighty wave.
It will destroy the lives of many.
More than those that we will save.
Once the land of humble farmer
Bursting forth rich with power.
The hungry dragon
Will soon seek placid prey to devour.
We must break our dependence now.
From the one who serves.
For too soon they will be the master.
And we will get what we deserve.
