Simple Man

[|D| e a n s t e r]

Khaz sat alone in his ice cave. An extremely bored look covered his face as he sat there crossed legged. His clouded blue eyes glanced out past the moutnain and to the forest below. A slightly shiver ran down his spine when a gust of wind blew on him. With that, a loud cracking sound came from his back and two large feathered wings sprouted up. The wrapped around him, leaving only his head exposed. He gave a slight grumble. Why did he have to be cold blooded? It didn't seem to make any sense to him. He was mostly human, and most was warm blodded animals, so why was he always cold blooded? He just grumbled again, a song slowly forming in his head.

"Mama told me when I was young, 'Come sit beside me, my only son, and listen closely to what I say. And if you do this, it'll help you some sunny day. Oh, take your time... Don't live too fast, troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman, oh baby, you'll find love, and don't forget son, there is someone up above." He stopped singing for a moment, and gave a light sigh before starting back up again. "And be a simple kind of man. Be something you love and understand. Baby be a simple, kind of man. Oh, won't you do this for me son, If you can?"

He stopped after the chorus, and opened his wings. The feathers were getting annoying. He folded the wings back into his back. Slowly the cold crept back up on him again though. He let out a grunt, and suddenly grew a thick coat of black fur. He gave a slightly grin, and continued with his song. "Forget your lust for the rich man's gold, all that you need, is in your soul, and you can do this, oh baby, if you try. All that I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied."

He paused again before singing the chorus. As he started singing the chorus, his voice cracked, but it went back to normal, and he continued the song. "Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself. Follow your heart, lord, and nothing else. And you can do this, oh baby, if you try. All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied. And be a simple kind of man. Be something you love and understand. Baby be a simple, kind of man.
Oh, won't you do this for me son, If you can?"
