[Chorus: Concrete Cee]
From the bottom to air, leap of faith in reverse
To the top of the stairs, defy gravity, the promise is there
No fear, as I topple the lair
Of the dragon, crushing columns in pairs
[Verse 1: Concrete Cee]
Thru the dark regions, towards hoods unknown
Stripped the armor from my body, as fate's threads are sown
And I, trust the process, by heart, gut and logic
Wrote the codex nine years ago and still live by it
With Calligraphy of Pain scribed the Grimoire
The magic was dark, sound wizards told me "make ten more"
Then I did, close one lid, let the arrow of extrication
Unlock the last secret of the Sin War
It was hidden in plain sight like a threat
Thinly veiled, not a message to forget
It said that balance was sought, and to find that
You must unlearn all of the fallacies taught
Both sides of the Force hold wisdom
Yet if you dwell on your pains, no situation is winsome
The faces in my past all show the same symptoms
One false move eradicates all the good ones
Destruction trumps creation in simplicity
Emotion trumps logic when it comes to affectivity
Master Your Emotions, the healing is wholesome
I'm tired from the walking and yet I won't run
My inner bulb ain't attached to the glow of the sun
In fact, the colder it gets, the bolder I come
As my soles touch solid ground, file and rank
Of the enemy becomes irrelevant as their hometowns
Shield on the left arm, mace in the right hand
You can classify my conviction as frightening
I was destined to fight kings, not bow before them
Which includes he who ordered the destruction of Sodom
It includes he who ordered the corruption of morals
It includes he who doesn't put love before all things
I vow to harness my inner light when I'm in darkness
All else is heartless, I won't walk with
Those who not know their calling, who follow the hordes
And then install, the same mentality in their offspring
Some might say the war is but lost
And it's those who are my enemies, I promise their fall...
