Ambition of Man

Contemplate with me
This precipice on which we sit
As the sands of time swirl
And beneath our feet shift

The fire burns within our hearts
While our backs break beneath the strain
Our passions cannot be extinguished
Even by heaviest of rains

Waves pounding on the support
To the towers we construct
Some will stand and some will fall
While heroes battle the corrupt

We're contained by mortal bounds
Yet we seek to break the wall
Remember the nectar of our sin
Was sweetest before the fall

Yet our species does survive
By the Creator's will
If we break the wall down
Then time will stand still

For man's ambition clashes
Against what has been planned
While heroes fly with angels
Villains swim among the damned

A man must be championed
Anointed by the divine
Lest his efforts bear no fruit
And left to rot upon the vine

So jump with me now
Venture in to the unknown
To test our faith and courage
And reap that which we sew
