Reflection

Where am I now, three years since I vanished?
Into the open, degree in my hand
Books in my mind and these pages for knowledge
Out to discover the lay of the land

What have I found and how have I balanced
Life for this system and life for my gain?
Dancing around in display of my prowess
Feigning my honor and finding my name

Who am I now in this age of disguise?
I was the child with menacing eyes
Burning my faces and watching them rise
Waiting for one to be free from my lies
And the dawn is glowing, and the dust is growing
And the wind is blowing, and the blood still flowing
