Ode to Impeccability

perfection is not the absence of flaw
its the overcoming of barricades
The will to risk everything, to risk it all
despite the light of life that fades
To truly bring oneself to the edge
Only to return again, stronger... better
To cliff hang endlessly from that ledge
Only to chin-up and face what most will never

Take an oath beneath the moon
To become invincible under the sun
To never perish too soon
To see the end of what you've begun

Ignore the wounds that mercilessly ache
Ignore the ailments that consistently throb
come what may and give what you take
Bide your time but let not time be the one to rob
Its in your hands, fate is not a deity
You have control, fate controls not serenity
your time has come, surrender not your identity
you must push on, life lasts not an eternity

Take an oath beneath the moon
To become invincible under the sun
To never perish too soon
To see the end of what you've begun

One last taste is all one asks
mans ambition is never content
even on the summit of greatness
we are left with countless resent
We always hunger for more
we always strive for a better existence
even when we have it all
our downfall is our persistence

Take an oath beneath the moon
To become invincible under the sun
To never perish too soon
To see the end of what you've begun

Fate is not our adversary
The ones to blame are ourselves
We are never satisfied
we hold the hammer to our coffins nails
we hold the key
to the chains we have cast upon us
we bar the way
To the paradise that doesn't wait forever

Take an oath beneath the moon
To become invincible under the sun
To never perish too soon
To see the end of what you've begun
