she can ruin your faith with her casual lies...

or so big they'll shatter

i want to wander in your dreams

and pick at the seams

to have them bleed

into reality

you think yours dont count

they are too small to matter

or so big they'll shatter

my friend we are all held account

for if you have a soul

you may be so bold

to create as given

the divine vision

the stuff of nightmares

no bad times

without good times

no bad deeds

without good deeds

no virtue without sin

around and around it spin

the stuff of nightmares

and the tales of double dares

where the hero came home

and many fires kindled

for the warmth had dwindled

in the hearts of homes

rags for the suits

such is the balance

daylight to nightly valance

yin to the yang

chorus to the refrain

a harmony of life

riches against the strife

rags for the suits

despair for the loots

because the simple

truth is this

for every shark

there is a dolphin

all i have to spend

will you walk with me?

to breathe?

to sample the earthly delights?

to bathe in mysterious moonlight?

take my hand

i offer to the land

all i have to spend

to my duty i will attend

for time does not wait for thee

and all the beauty

must surely fade away

for time does not stay
