Empty words

Every word is just a frame,

A dusty object, a simple name,

An empty brick in a giant wall;

Remove one and the rest will fall.

We build them high without concern

If others hear what we want to say.

Nobody breaks them to find the truth;

Everyone in a comfortable, empty womb…

Give one a meaning and it weights more,

Powerful enough to bring down the wall.

And once it’s down, you can finally see

Prisons of empty words we all live in.

The spirit of the dragon

In the darkness of the night

With no moon to light my path

I keep running through the woods

Full of creatures, ghosts and spooks.

My heart’s beating very fast

But this fear, it cannot last.

I must run and find the light

That will bring me back to life.

I have lost my hope and faith

But this fear I must not obey.

Every shadow is lack of light

Playing tricks on my mind.

There’s still power in my veins,

Keeps me fighting till the end

Against these creatures, spooks and fears

Until the darkness disappears.

And once it’s all clear and bright

I’ll try to teach you how to find

In the world of deception and tough times

The spirit of the dragon inside your heart.
