The puppetry of a weakened mind Catharsis from my hands As the worlds collide It is I who pulls the strings now Condemning one to forever seek His golden fruit divine But the orchard only runs for miles With rotten apples and gritty smiles Coveted regret I sense she lied to me Prophecy I set Did she think I'd fail to see? Guilt within these eyes A thrilling chance but Why does he feel nothing? Why do I feel nothing? I cast a stone into the lake of fire Every skip desire to Clear my mind, embrace a time When rivers fill my oxen hides with wine Truth beseeched, I'll never reach But forever sing this song of growth down orchard rows Reanimate the life from which I hide Evermore, through peace and war But the lines that mark my face will never fade They'll never fade They'll never fade I walk along the dividing path Towards the elder tree To one hand lies the harvest joy To the other: misery Climb into my arms Upwards my neck cranes Dance among the stars One apple still remains Pick it if you dare A warning from the ancient ones, The architects of all beneath the skies One last poison apple to the bushel goes 'Till the cider flows Clear my mind, embrace a time When rivers fill my oxen hides with wine This toxic brew serves to renew I'll forever sing this Song of growth down orchard rows No matter where the path on which I stride Leads me to, I'll hold it true But the lines that mark my face will never fade They'll never fade Through the orchard of life my feet guide From the trees grow the fruits of desire These trials inspire tales of the wandering man No map in his hands
