All the world's a blur and my vision dims The wind howls in haunting anger and fear As we are cast about like dice on a whim The present is slipping, into the future we sail Retrospective actions are too late, they fail And my hands clench nothing, short of their goal Eyes mist through their dryness and are veiled Even with sight we cannot see with eyes of coal In different dimensions, different degrees We all try to help ourselves see But what we learn from memory; This thing can never be I am taxed by weariness from the labor Of trying to do somehow more than asked But it is this struggle, this very labor That gives me life and some sort of task To relieve the burden of this heavy mask Ah, but the horizon lies ever just ahead And the landscape shifts with slightest inclination So that this icon is something else instead Feeding from the wickedness of the population 3D sight surrounds the light Of hope to survive, maybe, just might We ascend the impossible height, Only to descend, into endless night |

We ascend the impossible height, Only to descend, into endless night these last two lines arre great. really hold alot of insight. once again, i humbly bow. aimee Trust I seek and I find in you. Everyday for us something new. Open mind for a different view, and nothing else matters. --Metallica |
