The sage, so wise, upon his throne Contemplating, alone, in his gloom His guise a vision serene He is what you aspire to be No loss of self-control He is one step above us all Beyond notions of passion, of want, of life, and of death However can this be? So far you've seen no answers You've all but spent your life in shackles While searching for the truth You only feed delusions The musings of some strength forgotten So use your mind when your vision's failing Indulge in part of an illusion sublime, sageling So use your mind when your heart is ailing Forget each part of you that dies, sageling A vision, a dream, one of purity Of serenity, or of folly You're draped in the vestments of dignity To embrace the blessing of apathy Disimpassioned your mind is set free Yet you consider the cost of failure Will its promise, so peaceful, no longer suffice? Will you pry open the gates of the sages? The fear, no longer, of the woes of the world in your eyes So use your mind when your vision's failing Indulge in part of an illusion sublime, sageling So use your mind when your heart is ailing Forget each part of you that dies in disguise, sageling Dies in disguise, sageling
