I'd blaze a path for more to draggle Burned by the false wonder Yet still, I felt content Afraid of the sound of the chimes In their very nature was how I made my choice For the awry ascent O' how I roared for a cease! A staircase not of sense, but made of dreams that evade And grow until the ivy sprouts into the sky And shadows true existence -A false mirage What a foul immersion! Burned by the false wonder Yet still, I felt content Afraid of the sound of the chimes
In their very nature was how I made my choice For the awry ascent No seer would tell me of my discarded faith I dismissed such heed I was embodied with pride—O' ego! -The worst of evils Burned by the false wonder Yet still, I felt content Afraid of the sound of the chimes In their very nature was how I made my choice For the awry ascent How the albatross can soar with those heavy, iron wings They would weigh me like a stone with a chiseled, cosmic story I admired such vim I admired such courage For it showed me I could fly If I only would endure
