A restless wind turns As troubled waters churn Blind vision unfurls anon With the mantle of prophecy
Battling sailless windmills [x2]
Peons his peers As he to they may appear The paragon of trickery Upon the altar of ignominy
Battling sailless windmills
And the lisp of cherished lips Lifts the lilt of idiocracy His raiment of white Tainted black with hypocrisy
Hating the hated, hateful of hatred Reflecting an eye to see Through the veil of mediocrity
A silver tongue wagging To pretensions visionary Splits the tangent with sermons of perfidy And so now forked, swallowed and choked Retched back for a new soliloquy
"Sanity may be madness But maddest of all is To see life as it is And not as it should be"
[Lead - Dan Mongrain]
His face a polished mask Cracks a line in the glass Reflecting back So the eye can now see Through the veil of Mediocrity
Battling sailless windmills [x2]
For he is no more than they To him becoming fair prey Even if he so aspires Entombed in lofty spires
Battling sailless windmills
A soul riddled with scars With the mien of mortuaries To the bitter pride Of tuberculosis
Hating the hated Hateful of hatred Reflecting an eye to see Through the veil of mediocrity
Perched above so high Air alone to impress Self-serving And vainglorious Waiting for praise.
