1. The sun has sailed off and the night reveals the moon
I know there’s something near my room
The Dragon has come along
The silence of Nyx speaks thousand speeches
I can neither smell nor feel its presence
A Dragon which I haven’t ought to see
How can I possibly fight this Dragon if it’s concealed?
No one could stop it from entering my head
Feeding me legion thoughts, things I do not want to think of
iron
If only I have Beowulf’s special iron shield and the ancient
sword called Naegling,
I could be like the King and defy the Dragon’s flares
But the more I force myself to slumber, the more thoughts it
enters
I reckon that the Dragon seems comfortable being in my
room
The reason why I cannot sleep at gloom
Fighting this dragon is an unending fall
2. Million dreams had been burnt into cinders
To replace the time spent for sleeping,
The Dragon could not afford to pay even half of its debt
I dream with open eyes that one night will come
The ultimate light in the dark will ignite
Until the sun comes out
burned-
I want to get back the time burned-down
Cos I could not stand to be like monster in the night
Seeing the spots in the dark, thinking thoughts that are
irrelevant
room
So now, people around the room light,
My friend by night got me something to find
The next time that he’ll arrive
He wants another den to hide
Would you welcome him with all your heart? ☺
