POETIC TAROCK

Star Trax: Federation

The trickiest word of my life. Federation.

They told me it means an unbreakable bond.

A bond between brothers, a bond between nations

and even those cute little ducks in a pond.

Under the star we were children of glory.

In North Yugoslavia born and raised,

I never expected a twist in the story,

the playground is where I spent most of my days.

They made us swear we would help one another.

Like a good comrade. A true pioneer.

Made us believe we can trust in each other.

Together, we thought, we have nothing to fear.

The trickiest word of my life. Federation.

Yesterday troubles seemed so far away.

Lore whisper into an ear of each nation.

You deserve more! And they just went astray.

Born in a war, in a war you shall perish.*

Nevermore brothers. Just brothers in arms.

Forgot all the bonds we were taught how to cherish.

Hoodwinked by a wolf with grandmotherly charms.

Then I discovered a new federation.*

A marvel for heroes who fight in the ring.

Monday Night Raw I would wait with impatience.

Get ready to rumble! And then: Ding-ding-ding!

Gods among men. For the win! For the glory!

It's not only fights that would truly amaze.

Every night brought a new twist to the story

and nothing was left but an eyebrow to raise.

Always a trick to outsmart one another.

Always a whisper... What one needs to hear.

Always a reason to fight with each other.

Always a stab in the back you shall fear.

Once art of war now an art of deception.

That's not the way of a true pioneer.

Strange word, federation. To me, an inception.

It just makes me feel like a fifth musketeer.

Thanx to:

* Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

* World Wrestling Federation Superstars
