Chimeric Endeavor
Soldier works, vacant brain
Rocks below, sliced in twain
Duty's call, cleaving claws
Frantic pace, sharpened jaws
High above, unbeknownst
Stirrings from the upper world
Man's VANITY had birthed a germ
And spread a plague below the earth
The toxin fills the mine
The other miners pay no mind
The only victim is our poor scout
As he makes contact with the cloud
A change of pace and Soldier halts
A sudden chill then breaks his waltz
The air is thick and the shadows long
Had they been so all along?
Shaken by this new condition
Soldier does what's not allowed
A fully unnatural act
Soldier rises from the crowd
What could the consequence be
After such a stunning act?
Soldier looks within in dread
Nature's order has collapsed
No consequence befell him
As he was the only one
Affected by this shift
All his brethren kept working
None did seem to realize
What was happening
"One is I - I am I
I am one - One is man
Man and ant - Ant and man
A chimera - Here I stand"
Here I stand
Rocks below, sliced in twain
Duty's call, cleaving claws
Frantic pace, sharpened jaws
High above, unbeknownst
Stirrings from the upper world
Man's VANITY had birthed a germ
And spread a plague below the earth
The toxin fills the mine
The other miners pay no mind
The only victim is our poor scout
As he makes contact with the cloud
A change of pace and Soldier halts
A sudden chill then breaks his waltz
The air is thick and the shadows long
Had they been so all along?
Shaken by this new condition
Soldier does what's not allowed
A fully unnatural act
Soldier rises from the crowd
What could the consequence be
After such a stunning act?
Soldier looks within in dread
Nature's order has collapsed
No consequence befell him
As he was the only one
Affected by this shift
All his brethren kept working
None did seem to realize
What was happening
"One is I - I am I
I am one - One is man
Man and ant - Ant and man
A chimera - Here I stand"
Here I stand
