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..  
 
What made me out of my condor inside the heaven?
What has gotten me out of the gates of heaven?
 
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
