Fortuneteller - 1999
You watch it – you have nothing but a dream just yet
Harder times are still to come
Balancing between two parts of reality
Misanthropes lurk and you yourself might be
All too wrapped up in later journey's treasures still untold
Noticing not the boulders blocking your path on the road
You step in the footsteps left by those who walked before
Without them you lose your way
I once was someone made of grand illusion, too
In dark days that tolled my soul
A lone blade, I bent which ever way the wind blew
No direction and no concept of the word
Ever imagining that I controlled my own free ride
Then it began with one still voice I carried deep inside sayin'
In the meantime you are guarding your romantic dream
Ever growing with the knowledge things aren't as they seem
You may find your strength to fail you at the final test
If you do not strike your pride and face your own weakness
Your grace and your poise and intellect are all intact
You think that these make you strong
You'll waste it if you conveniently forget the fact
Whatever has brought you here has brought you here thus far
What you have learned here you must not discard or leave behind
Far greater forces will unlock these mysteries in your mind
In the meantime you are wasting all that you obtain
Not accepting that the more you give the more is gained
When the righteous travelers seek the road that leads them home
When the highway crumbles, seek the narrow path alone
You watch it – you have nothing but a dream just yet
Harder times are still to come
