A flame is rising
The power growing
Emotionally draining
Hard to understand;
just what this defector wants
Attention of a world stage, perhaps
Muscles flexed ...
"Here's what power I can raise"
A statement made
Influencing the web
Having all the network woken
Jumping to this grand one's clicking fingers
I feel that shadow pass me by
Heart open wide
Emotions flowing like tears
I am merely bemused
Unaffected
Focus restored
Though it was never lost
I was merely curious
As the eye of a magician was upon me
And I saw the shadow bird
Eagle with talons open
Hanging in the aether before me
I remained fully aware ... fearless
The power growing
Emotionally draining
Hard to understand;
just what this defector wants
Attention of a world stage, perhaps
Muscles flexed ...
"Here's what power I can raise"
A statement made
Influencing the web
Having all the network woken
Jumping to this grand one's clicking fingers
I feel that shadow pass me by
Heart open wide
Emotions flowing like tears
I am merely bemused
Unaffected
Focus restored
Though it was never lost
I was merely curious
As the eye of a magician was upon me
And I saw the shadow bird
Eagle with talons open
Hanging in the aether before me
I remained fully aware ... fearless
