Nguyen Chi Thien

Autoplay

Nguyen Chi Thien You pious frauds of twisted truth You who've robbed me Of my youth You hack black robed State Powers judge You make of Time a numbing sludge With your legal tricks and your pious smirks With your pompous rites and your righteous quirks, You dare to link your name with mine, May my glory ever shine Illuminating to your shame Your torture of my flesh and name, And cast a glimmer of shadowed light A pale reflection on your might; I remembered, you forgot, In my shadow may you rot, In my cell, my hut, my cave, May you in deafness ever rave.
