He stands alone and watches

As his destiny pursues

Again night falls and yesterday...

Though not another's fool



He blindly stands in charge of all but

What he fears the most

As silence placed upon him

Brings a story to be closed



He turns and runs for shelter

As he tries to close his eyes

But the piper's to be paid

Because the soul can never lie



A vision of dissention

Resignation of his pride

A vision of intention

Fire burning from inside



Black or white--the wire

Turns the view--must now decide

Spin the wheel--he's fallen

He has risen--he has died
