You will never bridge the chasm Or know the greatest depth Of an unleashed soul's sole passion Nor find what gives it breath It's fed by an unknown catalyst, That urges onward total war, And loses it's very own battles, Battles it's lost before. And though you start with armor, And resolve in your facade, You will only descend halfway, Then retrace the steps you trod. But do not feel disheartened, For you are not the first who's tried, And failed upon this journey, Who has turned to run and hide. And the soul discoverer, rest assured, He will find no treasure bin, Just an ugly face and a twisted mind, And a broken heart within.

The Lost Battle
You will never bridge the chasm Or know the greatest depth Of an unleashed soul's sole passion Nor find what gives it breath It's fed by an unknown catalyst, That urges onward total war, And loses it's very own battles, Battles it's lost before. And though you start with armor, And resolve in your facade, You will only descend halfway, Then retrace the steps you trod. But do not feel disheartened, For you are not the first who's tried, And failed upon this journey, Who has turned to run and hide. And the soul discoverer, rest assured, He will find no treasure bin, Just an ugly face and a twisted mind, And a broken heart within.
