Standing on precepts ledge
Adolescence in youth
About to take the fall
Into the hardened truth

Oblivious to the pain
With a mighty hunger for free reign
If given half a chance
How many would do it all again

From the setting of one sun
Into another's horizon
Soon enough to be battle worn
In a war that's never won

Where the best that you can find
Overhead is empty sky
To late in to realize
You're no more than weary wise

Is it a life that's lived on lies
Or a different version of the truth
Precepts ledge is often high
For the adolescence of youth
