voyage of discovery

    you want to see the light within the shade
    but have not strength enough to hold the line
    now is the time to raise the last blockade

    so much depends on how the thing is made
    and on the manner of the early sign
    you want to see the light within the shade

    each morning you get up and ply your trade
    at midday you may pause and recombine
    now is the time to raise the last blockade

    at nightfall the best thinking has to fade
    we can't tell just which order to define
    you want to see the light within the shade

    the risen power discovers just how frayed
    are all the cords that make the ball of twine
    now is the time to raise the last blockade

    salvation is a myth since those who prayed
    and those who did not turn out just as fine
    you want to see the light within the shade
    now is the time to raise the last blockade
