Last night, in the moments my thoughts were adrift   And coasting a terrace, approaching a rift   Through which I could spy several glimpses beneath   Of the darkness, the light from above could not reach      I spied wings of reason, herself taking flight   And upon yonder precipice saw her alight   And glared back at me one last look of dismay   As if she were the last one, she thought I'd betray      So much better I said to myself   And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf   I struggled with destiny upon the ledge   And gasped when defeated, he slipped off the edge      And silence contagious in moments like these   Consumed me and strengthened my will to appease   The passion that sparked me one terrible night   And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite      So much better, I said to myself   And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf   I struggled with destiny upon the ledge   And gasped when defeated, he slipped off the edge      And silence contagious in moments like these   Consume me and strengthen my will to appease      The passion that sparked me one terrible night   (And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite)      And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite   And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite   And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite   And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite
