Volcanic Shape

Destiny has built this mission 
ending with this one decision 
there will be no repetition 
take the chance or be left wishing 

Conquer now or collapse 
once it’s gone it won’t come back 
You can focus through the pain 
this time you’ve a prize to gain 

It won’t be for nothing now 
like before when all fell down 
this is not a gravel path 
this is concrete set to last 

set in stone volcanic foam 
lava flows shape the unknown 
erupting up from so far down 
landing to reshape the ground 

It can change the mountain face 
fill in the rivers and the lakes 
bring the sun to rainy days 
building rainbows here to stay

Rearrange the lunar view
the sun and moon shine brighter too 
let flames that reign start a new 
this moment when you became you 

All before this fades away 
just preseason games you played 
get the season underway 
tell your story from this day 

You’ve been in a dormant state 
now to move accelerate 
finally perform your fate 
a destiny only you create!
