When Magma Begins To Flow
When magma begins to flow
The wise begins to build bridges,
And construct channels and dams
That the god of magma
may be worshiped
When epidemics begin to rehearse
the sages begin to dig tombs
and cane drums in their bald heads
That those who perish
may rest case in troubles
When hens begin to crow
the cocks begin to quack power
and foxes hire grasshoppers for dinner
That the land of chickens and hoppers
may endure forever
