Catherine Yen - A Final Settlement

He came from a misery land
Walking on the boulevards of the west
Loved one and another mother countries
No more expectation finally
In an immortal twilight
Assumed himself a world citizen
Useless, nameless, powerless
A self-contradiction

A nation lost its destiny
Cannot endow the destiny to its descendents
Created one’s own idol
Built around the shrines
Tired of the worship afterwards
Spent all the courage
Returned to face the same ethnic sort
And developed his own soul

Where are you from?
For ever changed the homeland into infinity
For ever worshiped the gods of aliens
For ever kowtowed to the expelled ancestors
You paid it
There is no faith in temple
No passion in metropolis
No curiosity in the same race

The speculator of thoughts
Would bear the depression
And forward with a purpose
If the earth can be reversed
The humiliation will be liberated in operations
A rope
Tangled in his perfect neck
The final suspect
Is an ultimate miracle
