lyrics

To stand atop the pinnacle of everything
is to concurrently suffer your every desire,
and thus awake the grand ascendancy
that dwells inside.
Those below can see this power and wonder,
"How can one man rise so high?"
I answer:

"Well I've often found the fastest way
out of any predicament
is to simply transcend the things that keep you in!"

"But then again, I suppose I could be wrong,
after all...
they say that what goes up, must come down...
do they not?"

I find the sun at times to be a sly, deceptive lie,
as when the winter rolls in under its halo of light.

Up here everything retains a simple subtlety,
the view's so beautiful, the world fades away!
And yet I find myself gazing ever upward,
seems the sky is never quite enough for me!

Why did I ever tell you of this place?
I know you'll come here now.
And I have no choice...
but to rise higher still!
