Incriminating Love

If loving you is crime
Let me spend all my life
In stock and shackle
Let people have criminal
Engrave on my grave stone

I don’t mind the whirlwind
Or think of the hurdles
The atmosphere may be gloomy
I say no to its deception
And remain unwavering

There could be mountain of despair
That stands between us
Or impede our coming together
But I could cut stone of hope
Out of mole of despair

Always Shall Prevail

The truth will prevail
It may linger on
It never work with speed
Being the daughter of time

The truth will prevail
Its pace may slow
Its gesture may be despised
It may look wearied
But can never die

The truth will prevail
This is my only hope
It may be sent to grave
Or locked up in prison
It can not be silenced

The truth will prevail
For it has always be
It shall ever be

Wicked Teacher

Experience a wicked teacher
You push us into test
And examine our stuff
Before you begin to teach

How rigid you are
Your lessons linger on
Your scars never fade
Your memory ever fresh

Experience a wicked teacher
You don’t care about age
You teach the young
And warn the old

Experience a wicked teacher
You don’t pity our scars
But leave us with time
To bind our wound

Most Sought Idol

Gambling
You are the most sought idol
You appeal to men’s greed
With the bait of chance
Their destiny became tied
By their very hands
On the edges of dice
They are pierce with sorrow
You loath their wealth
You damage their health
Relationship was severed
With the cruelty of your deed
And the poison of greed
You wear the cloth of chance
And painted yourself
With the colour of fate
They gamble today
To crumble their future
Their past became ghost
That haunts them to the grave
