O guiding angels of the blind What is it that we shall find?

In this sea of fates intertwined Written in blood to which all is confined

O guiding angels of the meek What is it that we shall seek?

For this river of time is bleak Shall its mouth warm us with a kiss on the cheek? Or shall we freeze on the top of its peak?

What then shall cross the minds of the nobility? That it all was nothing but a futility?

Then where shall my heart be steered? O guiding angels, what have you decreed?

They shouted "thou shan't withhold your eye From pleasures and the taste of rye"

And so I filled my flesh with wine, Sweets, and pleasures so fine

Though the flesh is filled The heart is never thrilled

For the eye will never stop craving And the void will always be embracing

Only then it came to hit The truth mankind won't admit

That this too is futile And not worth any while

Then they shouted "thou shalt seek wisdom Of sages from the long gone kingdom"

And so I filled the mind with words of old Studied every event and saw them unfold

Then low and behold The wisdom that's long been told

"Beneath the sun, there's nothing new We're but late guests and we're only passing through"

Words true yet cause heartache Giving way for the void to overtake

For wisdom doesn't bring peace It just lets the darkness increase

Then it came to hit The truth mankind won't admit

That this too is vanity And not worth one's sanity

Then they shouted "thou shalt seek to love, To manifestation of what's above"

And so I let the heart turn into a dove Flying all around, spreading the message of love

Yet it was hunted down and put in dark cages Sold and bought and sold again with cheap wages

The dove has been tossed To wretched grounds she has lost

And as I found her bounded by the floor I grabbed her and said "you will fly no more"

Then a crying voice called out to me I turned to see the lamb of Galilee

Hanging from that little wooden tree "You were betrayed by those you came to free"

"Why leave them here? Why let them be?" He said "I'm but an appointee"

"Appointed by the lord of love and peace May his praise never cease"

"And the dove on your hands, you shall let go For he gave her the mission, that she shall grow"

"She follows no one's but his command And it's decreed she spreads through the land"

"So don't be troubled when she's tied in bands There's nothing you can do, nothing in your hands"

"Just know, all this is not going in vain As it's the lord's and only from him we can gain"
