When one comes up...ascends the line
Somewhere is there one left behind
To feel his place is better filled
By that who's presence, for better or worse...
Will be remembered in sunlight - not a memory cursed
Jealousy will reign, as will
Anger and pain
Unfairness is rife
Victory goes to the vain
The one that ascends shall, in his leather-boots quake
Knowing they're waiting for a mistake
Yes, he's haughty, indignant - a right pompous prick
But he's a human and forgiveness shan't let the branding stick
The weak shall hide behind a clever disguise
That of power and strength lest they meet their untimely demise
Fear shall prevail
Can't handle what entails
To be less than you're told...
In life, face the fact,
We're simply following trails
