If all our thoughts and all our minds
Would resonate with all our mights
Would we achieve the greatest sights
The highest mountains, the lowest fights
If all our miseries would disappear
In the thin air with our fears
Only courage left behind
Confidence in our strife
A little whisper in the air
Would me mind me coming near
And facing it in the eye
All the evils I left behind
The temptations, the crusades
Lewd intentions, shallow ways
Empty stops, commas erased
Dreamy gestures, mindless games
I stared at each with a new set of eyes
My ambitions, my character, my personality, personified
The dream, the goal, my career, I came here to create
I burned these frivolous beings
With this growing fire inside
None can stop me now
Not even my grown dark side.
Am tearing my chest apart,
Revealing the glowing treasure inside
