Rising from the darkness
With a flaming synergy
Painting with the heartless
In the mist an effigy

There’s a chance of failure
And a ghostly symmetry
There’s pressure in this crucible

Plain and energy
And a proven power function
Describing what you see

There’s a chance of failure

Who let you say
The proof is in a powder keg
The rose is beaten and decayed

And I’m leaving home
and a-holding on
For the rose is gone
And they freed the swan
And a secret goal
Is a fathomless road
