I've been the fish,
I've swum the dream.
I've been the explorer,
The King, the Queen.
I've been the slave,
I've waded the stream.
I've been the dust,
I've been the ash,
And I've been everything in between.
There will come a life when this is seen for what it is,
When one simplifies their deeds
And no misgivings will give,
When one realizes the Grand Illusion
In which they have lived,
When one pours forth their infinite essence
And filters the impurities through the sieve.
One must transform their leaden clang
Into a Golden Resound.
Until this goal is clear,
We're all just ******* around.

And no misgivings will give,
When one realizes the Grand Illusion

When one pours forth their infinite essence
And filters the impurities through the sieve.
One must transform their leaden clang
Into a Golden Resound.
Until this goal is clear,
