In the Land of Light

You shall see such a sight

Of fountains overflowing with pure gold

A castle; with as many people and animals as it can hold

CLANG! Do you hear that sound?

A sound….. Of knights clashing swords in the battle ground

Thrusts, slashes, and volleys of cuts are exchanged

O, a battle has been arranged!

Walk in the fields of the Land of Light; you shall see animals frolicking

This indeed is worth acknowledging

Do you not hear the ocean

Turbulence ironing the wood-planked docks in a quickening motion?

Prosperous, History, and Authority; merchants they are

Journeying to islands near and far

Let us leave this place

Let us head to the village Toil; come, we must make haste!

Do you smell the foul air?

Do you see the dull, brown huts; life is not fair

The villagers; they work day and night

Ching! Ching! Pounding at pieces of metal with all their might

Smoke is drifting across the sky

The women of Toil are burning pieces of metal; that is why

Let us move along now; one last thing you need to perceive

Before you leave

Do you see the ground darker than volcanic rock? Do you see the blood-red sky and the dismal and downcast trees?

This is the Land of Darkness; a place whose warnings everyone heeds

In the castle lives the Lord of Darkness, a dreadful king

He hates every kind and good thing

GRRRRRRRR! Do you hear that growling?

Do you see the black-furred wolf; its green eyes gleaming?

Quickly, we must escape

From this landscape!

I hope you have spent your time well

In a place where kind people dwell

In the Land of Light!
