At the end of it all, who's to blame?
The pioneer, bearing the flame?
Or the moon staring down in pity
Knowing all is lost as she becomes a husk
Eternity reaches out to catch him
To teach him one simple truth
Evident and holy
The lie of our youth
She'll teach him all she can
Though he's doomed to fail
And whoever finds these words
Through luck or through fate
Whether fortune favors you
Or you made your choice to late
Like him, you'll look to the moon, screaming "give me a sign"
Bound by the shackles of patience and time
