Voluntary Blind

What is this race I am in?
Struggling towards destruction
Must I break everything?
Mind, body, soul

Blind strangers stare at me,
Pointing to endless roads
Map of sorrows and delights
Selling the secrets to grounded flights.

With conscience Blindfolded,
I sell my soul
To kill the meekest pure soul.
