When the Path is Unclear

You are lost One by one As you sink As you suffer You will know Just how far You have left You are lost One by one As you sink Into lethargy Giving in Letting go When the path is unclear A lifetime of expectation built on generations of accusation You'd adopt the attitude of a storm But the storms want nothing to do with you You'd do well to take heed of the subtlety of The winding stream, of the spider of subversion. The champions of your past conquered nothing, And neither will you. You carved your name deep in the earth Those crevices will echo your shame Symbols cut clear and bold Those crevices will echo your shame No room for ambiguity Those crevices will echo your shame In time it will crumble and decay Those crevices will echo your shame No longer plagued by the grinding of your spirit All you have doubted your future clouded You can not act with conviction when the path is unclear. You'd cast aside and turn away You'll bare the blight You'll wear your shame You'll never hide We'll carve your name Sink, suffer, regret, shame
