We love having pets because they are helpless enough to know us as masters,
But we are frightened because we know they can slip away and become their own masters,
Oh the treachery of power,
The deceit of glory,
For I know,
And even you know,
Deep down,
That to contain the energy of a small animal makes you no master,
It grants no power,
The real power lies in the ability to release something that can destroy you,
And to conquer the thing that has the capacity to devour you.

We all pretend to like peace,
And pretend to love,
And I suppose we do,
Since we love having enemies so much,
But only if they are defeatable,
But I can tell you right now this is the real world,
Things do not work like they do in your contemporary bedtime stories You call literature ,
And anyway what is an enemy if it is no threat?
Certainly not frightening,
So I cannot grant your wish,
Since what you desire can't exist.

I painted a demon and he painted ten more,
He showed me all thing things I hid away,
But that life is gone now,
The canvas is burned,
I could begin to repaint it,
But whats the point,

You can lead a horse to water,
But you cant make the water surrender.

Last night I had a dream,
Before I went to sleep,
I dreamed I rested my head on your body,
And we talked,
You rested your head on my shoulder,
And we created art,
All I want to do now,
Is sing a song with you,
And that's what I got to do,
But that was just a dream, its time to go to sleep.

Athena takes my hand,
And removes me from my village,
And the sky has opened wide,
For the gaze of love to find us,
And when she took me to her house,
I knew that it was pleasant,
She said, here you go, Ive taken,
All the things that made you certain,
And she gave her misfortune ,
To drain the group of rich men,
From their army camp of freedom,
And she took it all in one stride,
Yes, Athena lit a fire,
And shes woven a fine blanket,
And filled it with a child,
That she took away from heaven,
The crystal ball is glowing,
Even though it has stopped knowing,
and it tells of the secrets that we've kept beneath our candor,
forevermore...

It crashed to the ground,
So hard it shook the planet,
It was heard around the world,
Cracked the earth and all its granite,
Which made a louder sound,
And The Jörmungandr curled.
