Falling From the Tower

Propelled to new awareness Old structure outgrown A glimmer of light As truth is known Crumble the dead flower Flashes of insight nag Summoning change Called to a higher challenge Escape the old range Falling from the tower Higher will flows Perceive how to run Position of freedom False perceptions overcome Crumble the dead flower Upset the status quo Confront the truth Drastic conditions arise Matter changes its booth Falling from the tower Mind is opened Self in true nature Accept your position Surrender to the stature Crumble the dead flower Solitude or imprisonment Understand and transcend Sudden, fitful inspiration Squarely facing the end Falling from the tower There’s no escape Raging emotions overwhelm Rational thought of no use Insight flashes from the helm Crumble the dead flower Made our own prison Understand the new road Accept who we are Walls miraculously explode Falling from the tower We are suddenly freed Lightning flash strikes Fall into the unknown Accept future’s spike Crumble the dead flower True price of freedom Words are but signs Language represents people Communication changes time Falling from the tower Individual and collective Embrace destruction of lies Face to face with devastation Resistance hurts and denies Crumble the dead flower Embrace unknown future Self-realization abounds Sacrifice personality Revitalize Love’s sound Falling from the tower
