How wildly beats the heart
So snared in hopeless cares
It tears the soul apart
How wildly beats the heart
The weight of all we bare
The brunt of every jest
The focus of our stare
The distance of that crest
Beyond the cure of all our arts
Beyond the ruse some clue
How deeply sinks the heart
The weight of all we do
unimaginable
to our troglodyte brains
future’s controversies
to our troglodyte brains
future’s controversies
