Recurring Anthem

And your scope will expand more rapidly than your achievements
And you will never complete the full task
And you will slaughter the procrastinative craft
And you will awake one dawn to the Day
And you will feel the sweet warmth of the sun
And you’ll reveal the Truth to your sons
And you will gaze upon the mission with ambitious eyes
And you’ll see shattered that eternal scroll of uncertain deeds
And you will dissolve the chains on your soul
And you will chisel your lyric upon the eternal rock of old

And you will find what you seek in your heart
And your compassion will guide you to that door
And you’ve got destiny’s balance on your side
And you’ll discover more secret passages
And you will never relinquish the Truth
And your convictions are bold, clear, and pure
And you’re consistent against the flux of time
And you are trying to reconstruct a holy universe
And you keep relying on the self that only you know
And you are humble, and you are brave
And you can crest your wave above the swift, strong, submerged undertow

And you dwell within a prison in paradise
And you’re perpetually wondering beyond the painted lines
And you appear to make wrong choices at every turn
And you burn in undervalued anonymity
And you continue to crawl along the side of that muddy hill
And you are scary, and you are scorned
And your favorite store no longer is affordable

And you seek only that which is right
And you pray for every mortal soul every night
And you’re bitter, bored, and blue
And you’ve got so much to do

And you’ll revisit the spirits of lost youth
And you can see daylight back up that one-way path
And you will search for the poison’s antidote
And you will hope that someday soon it’s discovered
And your spring of life un-obstructed-ly resumes its flow
And you are faithful while you are lost
On the dark side of Mars in a neighborhood where no one goes
