What the hell is love? How do you define it?
Does it come only in summer, winter or maybe spring?
I was once a peaceful city
But I had a dormant volcano within me
I needed a guardian, an angel,
Someone who could keep it calm for all my life
I saw different candidates, first at an early age
On the first day, a being was called upon to guard the city
Smart, gorgeous but very stubborn indeed
But hers I could never dream to be
For she had eyes for my best friend only
On the second day, another was called
At some point, I thought she was the guardian all along
She was a spy sent to infiltrate the city
For all a Yinni wanted was the contact of my neighbour city, Dom
On the third day, probably the worst day, almost the best.
She guarded the city but under false pretence
I was second fiddle to her ultimate scheme but it doesnt martha
Have someone ever told you a lie so grevious just to get rid of you?
I found the truth and then tossed into a hullaballoo
On the fourth day was a princess of the Amazon
Probably the most worthy, damn, what do I know?
I wouldnt say she didn't guard it well or faulter
Just a little flip flop and then boom, all went ass under
On the fifth day was a star in a ring like model
I really can't explain what she represented, brothel?
Was she a guardian, a trickster, a spy or just a passer-by?
She did leave a large print on the volcano tip
On the sixth day and probably the realest and yet the flimsiest
I don't know, she was probably the closest to Leah
Except that for some reason the newyeon era wasn't accomplished
And now with the way things are, she just vanished
She also left a print, but not as her immediate predecessor
Hers was more influential, call it a Wild card burnt
On the seventh day was a chinese loving tourist
And probably the only one with whom the city opened up to freely
The cure to all other guardians later became the disease
The seventh probably closed the city gate
And as it closed, the volcano finally erupts
Hit with an earthquake seven times, it has had enough
One, two, three, four, five, six, seventh
The city is now in ruins, burnt to ashes
The city had hoped that one day within the seven days
That a suitable guardian would surface
But the story inevitably remained the same
The volcano has stopped its activity
The new lava covered the old imprints
The city starts to rebuild with all that is left
Would it be as beautiful as it once was, who can tell?
But now they search not for a guardian
For they have learnt to guard themselves
All the sinister seven which came along weren't guardians
And so I boldly acclaim, this city has never had a guardian
Equivalently, Roman has never fallen
Sorry Leah, but it can't be worked out
Thoughts are just thoughts, memories are just memories
I no longer want to sense this volcano feeling again
The volcano called Love is but an isolated pain
But can you say u feel the pain of love?
And yet claim that you have never loved?
Yes, Love never hurts or erupts pain?
In order words, it takes two to love, a picture and a frame
Halfway through rebuilding another person knocks
Who is it? Oh not again.
Blacksmith, seal this gate with a thousand locks.
