lyrics

Chapter 96: The Try-Works

The sun shows the ocean,
A two-thirds of darkness.
And what more to man than that he realize
His two-thirds of darkness just the same?

Turn from the fire
With hand on the helm.
Tomorrow the sun will light those demons,
And show the honest face of man.

Truth in your sorrows
When lit from your mirth.
As eagles would fly into canyons
And live to soar above the peaks,
The canyons do soar above the lowlands
And birds who shun their majesty.
