out of the shell

    this becomes how you choose a kind of name
    echoes of passion sing through normal dreams
    each in their way remembers the true flame

    your choice determines how you take the blame
    not the exposure of the old regimes
    this becomes how you choose a kind of name

    the lion bows and pretends to be tame
    you take each thing for just the way it seems
    each in their way remembers the true flame

    a child could tell you how to play the game
    but not which form of victory redeems
    this becomes how you choose a kind of name

    it would be easy to declare the shame
    of those who could not see the honest gleams
    each in their way remembers the true flame

    instead you smile and bow and give acclaim
    to those who find a path to smarter schemes
    this becomes how you choose a kind of name
    each in their way remembers the true flame
