When the light within forgets your name
When mistakes and imperfections multiply
When the way is not clear, wait with hope
Learn the futitlity of self abasement
Embrace your sins, turn not away
For of such is built the city of angels
Each false step bringing power to your song
How oft neglected, the left hand path
Which in truth, we all part way travel
While most bask in self satisfaction
The alternate road remains unused
If chased and driven from every town
Then to the river with head held high
If barred from the river, then to the sea!
No disgraced animal, but a leader of men
Let every bland pawn, prophesy his destiny
Ruminating with oblivious, bovine ease
As for me, always the restless carnivore
I must be free to run with wolves!
