Upon weary shoulders
Joints that speak of time Does the merry hourglass pour its tear stained sands Upon tails of triumph Failures and never was A phoenix rises with rainbow wings to burn away what came before This is the now Not then, not when, not thus Assemble forth champions to face what comes together That is what’s learned That is how we thrive That is how we’re strong That is our tribe

Into the unknown Holding head up high The jabberwocky nips at soft heels He’ll be there till I fly Enthroned upon a thorned step Entombed by the final breath A gasp for air as past lives cry This will not be the day I die What next What now The pin knight asks Their king a wall of silence His crown long lost on another quest The queen gone to the islands This land anew to sally forth This seaside, sun and sand To follow upon life’s new course Is all to be a man Trust in me I hear the call Trust in me I will not fall Trust in me from up above Trust in me and trust in love |
