The man walks through the sunken moor
Thoughts drift from his paramour
A vicious strain of tainted wonder
Tearing forlorn soul asunder
He knows his heart contains the key
The mystery to end all thought
Its answer thus, cannot be bought
It must be found it must be sought
The search for such has long begot
A thousand different answers such
Choose mine, choose that, the others suck
Arrogance within must truly bind
He alone can choose the path
Once forward stepped, cannot go back
He alone can choose the truth
The greatest power’s his, forsooth
I alone can see beneath
I perceive which others sheathe
Humility: a certain lie
He can’t escape and dare not try
The power’s too great, a glowing mantle
‘Neath the surface, drown the candle
The man can walk the man can choose
And from his mouth it falls: a tooth
Another drops into the sand
His blood spills out onto the land
Along the path there lies a heap
Of blood and bones and bugs that creep
Up soiled ribs and tattered shirt
As he sinks into the dirt
A house built on itself will fall
Your house is built on naught at all
