the tax of freedom


The dark lord hides
The castle of shadows loom
The creaking sound of footsteps
He closes his ears and mind

His dull knights
Going after the peasants
Asking them to pay taxes
The poor souls cry and beg

We have nothing left, Sirs
Don't you see what is happening?
The constant harassment
It brings us poorer”

The dull knights laugh
Peasants! It isn't our concerned
You are ordered to pay now
Else we put our lances into your heart!”

The group peasants gathered
They don't like the dull knights
Though they are afraid
But common ground makes them strong

You don't come nearer Sir knights
We have no money or gold to give
What else you still want from us?
We are suffering can't you see?”

The dull knights laugh
It isn't our concerned peasants!
Time we come to collect your dues
There is nothing you could do”

The dark lord walks to the window
Straining his eyes he looks to the commotion
Peasants and his knights staring at each other
Let the peasants be!”

The dull knights galloped away
Evil eyes piercing the peasants
We will come back
You can't escape our watch”
