I spend my treasures as a slave
What I divide, heaven divides
When I reign, heavens reigns and
when I am cruel, heaven is cruel
for its reasons, the earth is its
throne, its table and its altar
From border to border
more than 8,000 kilometres
a journey of seven months
we hide nets
to trap the feet
of the half-believers
we block the road with boulders
bend the bow of heaven
and shoot its arrow in their hearts
Then we dig the pits
