This is a test of my very existence
Nothing prevents me going the distance
The strongest of steel from the hottest of crucibles
So says one of my favorite parables
Every hero gets burned by the occasional dragon
So I'll swing my sword with reckless abandon
Looking for love without separation
Looking for death without negotiation
I'm returned again to that bygone era
Cursed by my memory, just like the Sahara
A lapse of judgment I'd much rather rewind
The madness I caused casting pearls 'fore swine
Looking for love without separation
Looking for death without negotiation
This is a test of my very existence
Nothing prevents me going the distance
