lyrics

You watch it
You have nothing but a dream just yet.
Harder times are still to come.
Balancing between two parts of reality, misanthrop[es] lurk and you yourself might be

All too wrapped up in later journey’s treasures still unknown
Noticing not the boulders blocking your path on the road
You step in the footsteps left by those who walked before
Without them you lose your way.

I once was someone made of grand illusions too
In dark days that tolled my soul
A lone blade, I bent whichever the wind blew
No direction and no concept of the word

Ever imagining that I controlled my own free ride
Then it began with one still voice I carried deep inside, saying

In the meantime you are guarding your romantic dream
Never growing with the knowledge things aren’t as they seem
You may find your strength to fail you at the final test
If you do not strike your pride and face your own weakness

Your grace and your poise and intellect are all intact
You think that these make you strong
You’ll waste it if you conveniently forget the fact
Whatever has brought you here has brought you here thus far

What you have learned here you must not discard or leave behind
Far greater forces will unlock these mysteries in your mind

In the meantime you are wasting all that you obtain
Not accepting that the more you give, the more is gained
When the righteous travelers seek the road that leads them home
When the highway crumbles, seek the narrow path alone

You watch it
You have nothing but a dream just yet.
Harder times are still to come.
