Every step shall resonate As the culling of privation And in the echo of my forward betterment I'd blaze a path for more to drag 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 Oh, 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, oh, ego The worst of evils ♪ Oh, 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 Burned by the false wonder Burned by the false wonder Burned by the false wonder Burned by the false wonder ♪ 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
