It's dark.
That's the place we used to live in comfort then.
Up there is where I used to be.
I thought you said it was easier now, back when
       I was a lad, in arms of protection.

It's cold.
What thing is that that stands above the frozen world?
That, my dear, is a sculpture of nature, a pinnacle,
    jutting toward the sky, threatening to take
  the dignity from God.
Look down, and see the shining sun upon the ice.
                                What do you see
below your feet?

My face
I stand on my face, with its smile as it looks
toward the future.
Dawn
'Tis of a new day I speak with joy
  and you will listen.
It's true, you're fine, we care we love you boy.
What is it?
      Fear?         You've been taught well I see...

From whence do your ideas flow, from wrote?
  From mind?  From mother or father or musics note?
Your mother is a teacher and I a firm believer
     that you don't see
the truth in me but only that which taught her.

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

-- Magus
