LOYAL IRREVERENCE Em D or B7 Em GENTLE MIST ESCAPING, BRUSHES SOFTLY AGAINST MY CHEEK Em D/B7 Em WISDOM THROUGH SWEET SORROW, GIVES ME BALANCE AND MAKES ME MEEK A THE MATERIAL EXISTS IN YOUNG MEN'S HEARTS, STRIVING BEYOND THEIR A Em.... BOUNDS AND MEANS A ETHERIALLY EXISTANT IN OLD MEN'S HEARTS, WHO SEARCH BEYOND THEIR Em DREAMS STILLNESS IS THE FOUNTAIN'S DANCE, GENTLE TRICKLING OF CRYSTAL PRISMS THEY JOIN TOGETHER AS THEY SHIMMER AGAIN, DISSOLVING ANY SCHISM FOR THE POOL OF SILENCE IS THIS SOUND, ALL VIBRATIONS TOGETHER MUST CANCEL ALL MOTION HAS CEASED BUT THE DANCE ABOUNDS, CHAOS HAS ABANDONED HIS CASTLE MEMORIES OF OUR DISTANT PAST, THEY GROW IN THEIR PERFECTION SWEETENED BY TIME WITH REALITY LOST, THEIR ROLE IS MERE CONFECTION FOR IDEALS ARE GROWN IN THIS SWEET SOIL, AND PRESERVED IS JUST WHAT SHINES LIKE THE BEE IN AMBER THE STING IS LOST, AND PRESERVED IS JUST WHAT'S KIND. MAY KINDNESS AND WISDOM BE YOUR SOFT GLOW, LET PASSION BE YOUR FLAME LOYAL IRREVERENCE LET IT BE OUR CALL TO SAVE OUR COLLECTIVE NAME FOR WE ARE NOT AT ALL WHAT WE SAY, WE ARE BUT WHAT WE DO MAY ALL YOUR ACTIONS BE KIND AND WISE, AND MAY THEY BOUNCE BACK UNTO YOU. |
