See the ranting of the man,
They think he's angry with them.
He finds it's hard to see in the wind,
Overshadowed by the fearsome rind.
He never falls asleep
Villagers think he is blind
He never walks with a flock
Dragons knock; wolves mock.
He'd like to listen to one crake
All night; waits for it to be awake
When the crake starts singing its song
He realizes how to stop the *chimaera.
It's his painkiller, painkiller
He doesn't need any filler
Now his heart has a thriller
He no longer wants to be a killer.
-----------------------------------------------------
*Chimaera is a mythological creature that is
a combination of lion, goat, and snake.
