WARNING
englisch
If those who ride the Ferris Wheel
Wish
To cut away from the Land
And swing in dizzy heights
May they swing and swing
But remember...
That those who snap their ties with the Land
Will remain suspended in the atmosphere
Always at the mercy
Of the one who pulls the lever
Forever in gyrations.
Returning to the Land
They will still suffer
The pain of Landlessness.
If those who ride the Ferris Wheel
Wish
To cut away from the Land
And swing in dizzy heights
May they swing and swing
But remember......
