Heaven withstanding and smiling we're all swept away
 The Rhythm of Life
 Is not so demanding as some caught in narrows would say

 Fragile as ships as we pass through Gibraltar
 The sirens have long given way
 Dark as the murky graveyard of sailors
 Whispering secrets told in the crashing waves

 The Beating of Hearts
 Set walls to trembling the power of silence persuades
 The Stumbling Feet
 Stagger predestined we all end up wild eyed and crazed

 And from the madness most jaded of vision
 Reflections of horror invade
 Running and falling relinquish your venom
 The antidote surely will cause your affliction to fade

 How little we know of what we are blessed with
 Our shimmering island it turns
 How little we look at what we see clearly
 Of tragedy's lessons not learned


 Sleeping through classes we'll make it up later
 There's still so much time left to go
 MISGUIDED ROSES we bloom in October
 Emerging triumphant in time for the season's first snow
