The leader will stand For all into one The sum of his fears Is a product of none He has learned to fight fair On this life battlefield With a sword of ideals And a virtuous shield He will rise over mountains Cross river and stream As he carries the world While upholding his team He will sink to the depths Of the loneliest ocean A man-of-war captain On seas of emotion Beating back pain Like a ram against waves His sails painted black By his treasure horde caves Where desire was buried And locked in a chest When at the world's end A most selfless behest Then summoned him from A Laurentian abyss Reborn as a dreadnought   Of true nothingness Imbued with the force Of a righteous typhoon Commanding the tide With his purpose-full moon To glow as a beacon A lighthouse of hope For the stars yet to see Through his telescope Beyond space and time Past nuclear fusions Celestial beings And cosmic illusions To find that within Is the energy source To channel this power And rewrite its course For the leader has done this He's doing it now Tasked with the honor Of showing them how

The Leader
The leader will stand For all into one The sum of his fears Is a product of none He has learned to fight fair On this life battlefield With a sword of ideals And a virtuous shield He will rise over mountains Cross river and stream As he carries the world While upholding his team He will sink to the depths Of the loneliest ocean A man-of-war captain On seas of emotion Beating back pain Like a ram against waves His sails painted black By his treasure horde caves Where desire was buried And locked in a chest When at the world's end A most selfless behest Then summoned him from A Laurentian abyss Reborn as a dreadnought   Of true nothingness Imbued with the force Of a righteous typhoon Commanding the tide With his purpose-full moon To glow as a beacon A lighthouse of hope For the stars yet to see Through his telescope Beyond space and time Past nuclear fusions Celestial beings And cosmic illusions To find that within Is the energy source To channel this power And rewrite its course For the leader has done this He's doing it now Tasked with the honor Of showing them how
