He rode beyond the valleys and hills afar
Hoping to reach the farthest realms,
There's a territory nearest to the star
He heard them say, its a land of dreams.
To meet the king, wage a war and win
And reign the land at the end of earth,
He rode for months and years in spin
Trying hard, for all its worth.
At last, he reached the end of earth,
Saw beauty spilt everywhere,
There happiest men have taken birth,
And learnt that mighty God ruled that square.
Ahead he went and heard them say
The king sat on a golden throne facing East,
Took his weapons to hit that way,
Gosh.. he saw him changed to an ugly beast!
