Men On Horseback

In defeat!
Masquerades marauding
Men on horseback riding
Men on horseback backbiting

It's scary in my surroundings
In the midst of a rumble
I grab and hold a broken bottle

Rinsed up and gargle
Stumble as I walk with a waddle
Time's due I gotta blow my candle
One more obstacle after another hurdle
My errors all but no margins
Somehow I got back into the saddle

Hear me!..
Hear me!..
I've been rising quite above this horizon

Every day I was rudely awakened by a squabble
I controlled myself sufficiently as not to gasp and startle
Just can't let them buried me under the rubble
In here no happiness, no peace nor pancakes or free waffles

Hear me!..
Hear me!..

I just cannot dream
All you hear at night
muffled screams
Apply me some cream
The pain among we fellas
Fill to the brim

For the way I am,
Accept me!
Bail!.. Free me..
Set and save me..

The only thing we think
Who among us can break this jinx
I've to share this with you using my ink
We only link
At a point in a given time, I might fall sick
My time will tick..

Is it everyone or just me in the oven?
Out of the gates of heaven jogging to hell
I lose all my count in a killing spree
Victory is sealed!

Masquerades marauding
Men on horseback riding
Men on horseback backbiting
