welcome to the market
country for sale the market is under a Misty
cloud!
buyers come from the corners of
two Rivers
buy me buy me, my loyalty taste sweet
my price is fair
peace for sale
the lord of the flies come to market today
buy me buy me my venom taste nice
progress for sale !
the tortoise comes to market today
old wise tortoise bought storms
that will come for us soon
citizen for sale !
the gunman comes to the market today
with jerricans and spades
buy from me the blood of my kinsman taste nice
when the market closes
even the seller cried more
when the voice cried bitterly why did
you sell our country
