the game of tricks and lies



The galloping horses
Colour and stripes
Graduated from the same flag
The game of tricks and lies

The dust rising to the air
The galloping horses ride
Hitting the ground quickly
Wanting to make a name

The sun takes snap shots
Of the galloping horses
Riding to reach its destination
The game of tricks and lies

The hot sun punishing the ground
The bushes and grasses turn brown
The galloping horses ride harder
The oasis seems so far away

One by one falling away
The heat and exhaustion
The galloping horses fall
Eyes staring at the oasis

So near yet so far
The sun takes snap shots
One by one falling away
The game of tricks and lies
