Last night in the moments my thoughts were adrift
And coasting a terrace approaching a rift,
Through which I could spy several glimpses beneath
Of the darkness the light from above could not reach
I spied wings of reason herself taking flight
And upon yonder precipice saw her alight
And glare back at me, one last look of dismay,
As if she were the last one she thought I’d betray
So much the better I said to myself
And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf
I struggled with destiny up on the ledge
And gasped when defeated he slipped off the edge
And silence, contagious in moments like these,
Consumed me and strengthened my will to appease
The passion that sparked me one terrible night
And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite
[instrumental]
So much the better I said to myself
And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf
I struggled with destiny up on the ledge
