Am I a spider without web? In its silky warmth it abides Am I a wolf without fangs? From which a hapless prey hides Am I a lion without its mane? Upon which the kingdom rests Am I a snake without its hiss? From its music springs death Am I a foolish mouse? Without its genius, it becomes fad To the feline but with stealth The slower ones are just fat Alas, am I a human without a purpose? Slowly thus his soul corrodes.

Am I—?
Am I a spider without web? In its silky warmth it abides Am I a wolf without fangs? From which a hapless prey hides Am I a lion without its mane? Upon which the kingdom rests Am I a snake without its hiss? From its music springs death Am I a foolish mouse? Without its genius, it becomes fad To the feline but with stealth The slower ones are just fat Alas, am I a human without a purpose? Slowly thus his soul corrodes.
