lyrics

let's run the gamut, light the torch / dance around the flickering flames of fire for sport, it's fun to fan it / the embers under the lumber, i son the thunder, dammit / let's keep it open and honest, a promise, understand it? / avoid the combination, being dumb and underhanded / a lack of poise renders poetry noise, to be candid / this is my life story, no frills narrated / go in for the slow kill, like son of sam marinated / a tale of spiritual travel, a soul pilgrimage / from essence back to essence with the middle riddles filled in / you ever wonder what it's all about, why we're here? / is there an end game, if so, why aren't the rules clear ? / the jewels here, not phalange friendly tangible / consumed by ourselves like auto-cannibal mandibles / seems we can't handle commandments handed to man / and behave in a manner that transcends the ways of animals / still i keep a candle lit, hooded monk man handles it / man crept over sand in tan sandal steps / knowledge gained over time, refined with age / boiled down within the spirit to the wisdom of a sage / unroll the scroll, behold upon the printed page / stardust, sprinkled by the fingers of a mage / the words take form of their own accord / and afford more points made than the sharpened blade of a sword / harken, everything perceived as real is really just facade / some trust in god, while others clutch a trusty rod / and try to play the role, bumbling with thunder / frightened of the dark lightning they created / torn asunder by the wind, the ways of their sin / and from the end that ensues, they are forced to begin again / [ouroboros]

this is my epiphany, a waking dream i'd like to share with you / a journey into a new dimension of thought, nothing to compare it to.
