Spirit
Music by Richard Termini
Words adapted by Termini from Prologue of Zarathustra by Nietzsche

The Spirit speeds into the desert
Becomes the beast of earthly burden
Kneels like a camel in the desert
For the ultimate quest to be free

Or is it this?
Letting mistakes shine to mock ones wisdom
Stepping into filthy waters when they are the waters of truth
Parting from our cause after its triumph
Climbing high mountains to tempt the tempter

The Spirit speeds into the desert
Becomes the lion that would conquer his freedom
Here he seeks out his last master 
To fight him and his last god

(Implied: what is difficult)
Or Is It This?
Feeding on the grass of knowledge for the sake of the truth
Loving those who would despise us
Being sick and sending home the comforters
Making friends with the deaf who never hear what you need

For the ultimate victory the lion must fight the dragon
Thou shalt is the name of this beast
Thou shalt stands in his way sparkling like gold
Once conquered the lion becomes the child and is free and whole
