As the light rain falls
As the cold tears run
With denial we stall
For the truth will stun

To cower from the empty books
Page after page after page
Of screaming blankness
Afraid to touch the pen

The ink that bleeds
And stains the pages
Relieve the need
Control the rages

And so we conquer
Every fear
That would suppress
What we hold dear

And so we advance to the oncoming tide
And so we adore each arduous dive
And so we arrive against the stars
And so we're alive to bear the scars

"Whether 't is nobler in the mind"
The answer rings again and again
As the grandfather clock
Chimes the stoke of ten

To create is to live
To live to create
The stories that flow
Our decided fate
