Wisdom's Cost

V5

[verse 1] Would you be sister to the fates? Brother to the pack? Would race the stag among fallen oaks, follow in his tracks? Would you stare into the abyss, not knowing what might look back? [chorus] Tempt fate if you dare It's only your life or mind You risk getting lost Don't cry that it's not fair We know your kind The dice are tossed! Are you ready to be laid bare? To step up to the line And then across! Too late to beware Secrets are here to find But you'll pay wisdom's cost! [verse 2] Would you delve in dungeons below? Caverns untouched by men? Would you dive into the deepest blue, Then risk deeper depths again? Would you try to walk the line Between ecstasy and sin? [chorus] Tempt fate if you dare It's only your life or mind You risk getting lost Don't cry that it's not fair We know your kind The dice are tossed Are you ready to be laid bare? To step up to the line And then across! Too late to beware Secrets are here to find But you'll pay wisdom's cost! [solo] [solo] [interlude] Truth and illusion The real and the false Sight and confusion Be ye open to all! To know is a burden But one worth the weight Join with the learn-ed Give in to this fate! [Verse 3] Would you slay your ignorance? By knowledge become stained? Would hear long forgotten lore, never speaking it again? Could you carry knowing what will come but not ever knowing when? [chorus] Tempt fate if you dare It's only your life or mind You risk getting lost Don't cry if it's not fair We know your kind The dice are tossed Are you ready to be laid bare? To step up to the line And then across! Too late to beware Secrets here to find ...so much... Tempt fate if you dare It's only your life or mind You risk getting lost Don't cry that it's not fair We know your kind The dice are tossed! Are you ready to be laid bare? To step up to the line And then across! Too late to beware Secrets here to find But you'll pay... wisdom's cost! [sound effect: mad laughter] [closing] [closing] [close]
