The fable has begun to repeat itself
Fantasies I once knew, unfold every day anew
And I refuse to ask, of the things that pass
For the sake of what has yet to come
Let the scorpion sting the frog
Let the tortoise outrun the hare
Three blind mice still unaware
Sometimes ignorance is commonplace for wealth
It's the same wicked game these people play
Live and let live, not possessing enough to give

Hear the windstorm blow
"Seekers of wealth and power, surely know."
Items lost can never be regained
Their presence holding an unforgotten stain
Come feast or famine
Scrutinize fortune, we re-examine
"Your vain posing is just a shadow show."
Hear the rain of the windstorm blow
And so misconception derives a new solution
Eat the apple and wait
