My protected nightly forum Calls you forward with decorum Lest my sword on you shall fall on What will surely take your life Speak unto me loud and clearly Of your name and rank or fear me As my wrath can cut severely Like a double bladed knife All together Come step forth into the lighting For identity and sighting To prevent a moments fighting Which will send you to your grave At a hostile hiding shadow I may choose to fly an arrow Down such alley made so narrow That a miss could not be made At a hostile hiding shadow I may choose to fly an arrow Down such alley made so narrow That a miss could not be made So now speak and prove your orders That permit you cross these borders For barbarians have taught us Only trust a man who reads And i warn you sternly trying To convince you without lying I can show you as you’re dying How your pumping heart it bleeds Since your hiding you’ve not broken Even after words i’ve spoken I shall take it as a token Gesture that you do not care And shall seek to now uncover From one way or from another If i think of you as my brother Or will slay you hidden there Hark now what’s that sound you’re making? In the shadows you are scraping Something heavy no mistaking Of the sound of cloven hooves All together And i see you moving slowly Into light and know you’re only A small wild and lonely pony And my laughing heart approves And i see you moving slowly Into light and know you’re only A small wild and lonely pony And my laughing heart approves Hark now what’s that sound you’re making? In the shadows you are scraping Something heavy no mistaking Of the sound of cloven hooves All together And i see you moving slowly Into light and know you’re only A small wild and lonely pony And my laughing heart approves And i see you moving slowly Into light and know you’re only A small wild and lonely pony And my laughing heart approves
