Your Life's Retribution

(album: Unquestionable Presence - 1991)

Your life's retribution
Catered to undo
Mistakes you have made
These lessons catch up with you

As I lay awake in bed at night
The thoughts of life
Pass left and right
They appear on my sensory screen
Adding visuals like I've never seen
Mistakes in route are quite expected
My existing plan is well protected
I light the bulb that soothes my brain
For not to learn is not to gain

Tarnished are the thoughts
That have been told
Wise men give me nothing real to hold
The writings of the past
Are paper thin
If I seek the truth
I'll look within

Boundaries never hold
They just cater to feelings of self control
In time you'll break through
An abundance of knowledge
Is there for you

The rise and fall
Protruding action
The thrill of it all
My fortress when I pass
My retribution, my afterclass

Sunlight, moonlight
Can you feel the warmth of past lives
Naked stars that come out at night
To make an effervescent dent in my time

Realize, conceptualize
Prepare yourself for life's retribution
