To soar as mighty Jupiter
And ascend as no others have;
This folly strikes all hearts of men.
For when he rises from his tow'r,
His wax will falter, wings broken,
And he will plummet, Hell-ward bound.

Though human nature inclines this,
Would you rather live as a beast?
Most feral and soulless, fangs bared,
Chained neck and paw to cruel masters.
The beast trapped, it knows not freedom
Ever staring at the heavens.
