Our feet tread upon the unknown
And dangerous pathways even more
Wave after blinded wave is shattered
Stormily upon the shore
Light glows alive again. Again
It mingles with the dark of the night
Our earthen hands burn out, and then
Again in flames they are alight.
Everything is fully known,
And everything is clear to see.
And the wound that's born to bleed
Bleeds on for ever, faithfully.
There is battle sometimes, where
Defeat is destined as the end.
Some experiences are meant
To taste, then just to waste and spend
