-We are lost in sanity;- |
|
-We have lost insanity- |
|
[Inspired by Don Quixote de La Mancha] |
|
A restless wind turns |
|
As troubled waters churn |
|
Blind vision unfurls anon |
|
With the mantle of prophecy |
|
Battling sailless windmills [x2] |
|
Peons his peers |
|
As he to they may appear |
|
The paragon of trickery |
|
Upon the altar of ignominy |
|
Battling sailless windmills |
|
And the lisp of cherished lips |
|
Lifts the lilt of idiocracy |
|
His raiment of white |
|
Tainted black with hypocrisy |
|
Hating the hated, hateful of hatred |
|
Reflecting an eye to see |
|
Through the veil of mediocrity |
|
A silver tongue wagging |
|
To pretensions visionary |
|
Splits the tangent with sermons of perfidy |
|
And so now forked, swallowed and choked |
|
Retched back for a new soliloquy |
|
"Sanity may be madness |
|
But maddest of all is |
|
To see life as it is |
|
And not as it should be" |
|
[Lead - Dan Mongrain] |
|
His face a polished mask |
|
Cracks a line in the glass |
|
Reflecting back |
|
So the eye can now see |
|
Through the veil of |
|
Mediocrity |
|
Battling sailless windmills [x2] |
|
For he is no more than they |
|
To him becoming fair prey |
|
Even if he so aspires |
|
Entombed in lofty spires |
|
Battling sailless windmills |
|
A soul riddled with scars |
|
With the mien of mortuaries |
|
To the bitter pride |
|
Of tuberculosis |
|
Hating the hated |
|
Hateful of hatred |
|
Reflecting an eye to see |
|
Through the veil of mediocrity |
|
Perched above so high |
|
Air alone to impress |
|
Self-serving |
|
And vainglorious |
|
Waiting for praise. |
