Adept to the depths of the shallows
Surrounding the waters of truth
He captured the cadence of shadows
That danced to the tune of his youth

And he smiled to reality's prudence
Overcome with the wisdom at hand
As insanity claimed jurisdiction
O're the laws of the kingdom's demands

Sifting through ashes of anger
Now blowing on winds reprieve
Echoes of impending disaster
Fade with the lies he believed

And he witnessed his bridge to freedom
Spark the fire in which it would burn
A pyre to the death of lingering regrets
Insuring he'd never return
