the bounty hunters wait







The Bugis warrior
On the sea shouting his bravery
Only the fishes sometimes crocodiles hear
Showing the thousand ripples on the water


The reflection he can see
The action of his words to the sea
The echo flows to his ears
The wind whirring him to go


Don't anchor on land
The bounty hunters wait
The prize on a life time
The opportunity to strike rich”


The Bugis warrior curses
The mumbling words flow to the air
Nobody wants to hear his words
He knows his lies carrying no weight


The schooner sails
Along the calm sea
Seagulls cacking noises
As it nears an isolated island


Don't anchor on land
The bounty hunters wait
The prize of a life time
The opportunity to strike rich”
