empirical wisdom
no matter what the words remain the same
echoing blandly down the aching years
our beast once wild has now turned safely tame
your voice is one that could with depth proclaim
ending to hurt and to the weight of fears
no matter what the words remain the same
as when we started infants in the game
certain that we'd be the new cavaliers
our beast once wild has now turned safely tame
and we have come despite the threat of shame
to know the meaning of so many tears
no matter what the words remain the same
still they are uttered out of need for blame
while horror is doled out in lavish shares
our beast once wild has not turned safely tame
and cowers uncertain of the fading flame
as each who waits at last wails and despairs
no matter what the words remain the same
our beast once wild has now turned safely tame
