⭐️Check out the playlist “MEMES OF DOOM”⭐️ [cello and cinematic choir] [Verse 1] Once again My friends Through the graveyard of apathy Through the forests of omission Through the valley of cowards and across the river of arrogance I have returned to you My path was worn Not by me But those who tread it before me Ages past [chorus] Those men who have taken the road of ease Who have turned from their highest ambitions It is a path trod by the falsely meek and the indifferent It is a path that will offer you every excuse Every lie to justify your weakness It is a path that allows you to sleep deeply Never having to fear nightmares It is a path that is many things But it is not the path of greatness [Verse 3] The ancients believed in a curse A god who would punish them for their hubris But they were wrong For when we fall It is not a god who has taken our legs from under us It is not a god who takes our mind and twists it Making us wander from our purpose We do it to ourselves [Verse 4] When we take the easy path When we turn our backs on our aspirations When we turn our backs on our friends There is no greater fall from grace than that which we bring on ourselves We sit in jail cells of our own making And the locks are on the inside And only we hold the key I fell by my own hand But here I stand today Because it was my hand that stood me back up [Verse 5] I see before me men and women of will Not of hubris But of ambition Ambition to create the greatest empire the world has ever seen Ambition to build a world with a foundation so strong it will survive a thousand generations Ambition to go further than any have gone before Where none have dared go before And here we stand On the precipice of history [Verse 6] On this day The day of infamy We will throw away the shackles of modern society No longer will we be subjected to the social experiment that has failed us and our people No longer will we be shackled by the chains of the common [bridge] Instead We will replace them with the wings of transcendence And those who do not follow us Those who remain shackled to the common They will remain chained [chorus] Those men who have taken the road of ease Who have turned from their highest ambitions It is a path trod by the falsely meek and the indifferent It is a path that will offer you every excuse Every lie to justify your weakness It is a path that allows you to sleep deeply Never having to fear nightmares It is a path that is many things But it is not the path of greatness
