zip his lips



The silent movie
The main character plays
He dares not take the bull by its horns
He will flap his wings fly away

In the village he may show his skill
Conjuring his magic of money in his bag
The tricks he can use to get his way
With city folks he hides in his castle

He says he stars in silent movie
He can't read his script in the open
He is afraid he might forget his lines
So he stays in his castle

The dark clouds hanging
He doesn't see it in his eyes
He lets his black knights do the talking
Branding words of lies and cheats

Each knight tries to score his points
Each knight fails to convince the city folks
In the rural villages they can get fooled
But some have awaken to find the truth

He needs script to chart his course
He tries to memorise many lines
Along the way he still lacks confidence
He is afraid he might fall on stage

The director waiting
The film rolling
The audience listening
The main actor keeps his silence
