The Road Less Traveled
The mystical journey begins
Not from out here, but within
Try hard to avoid seven sins
And obey Ten Commandments
Easier said than done
There’s nowhere left to run
Know what needs to be done
Set the example 1st born son
Let’s see if you’re the chosen one
But they chose none
Lived your life until now
Carefree and miserably
Left with the question, “wow,
Now how the hell can this be?”
It’s time to set yourself free
From all past discrepancies
Know what it’s like to be punished
For something you haven’t done yet?
You know what it’s like to submit
To what you’re about to commit?
Better admit you don’t know this
From your nose as far as you can spit
Spend most of our lives
Deaf, dumb and blind
Stubbornness comforts us
Nonetheless, do what you must
I will be heard in this life
And known in the next
I will now serve my time
And become a legend…
