A strong desire to plagiarize four words by Arthur PartenYou were right though you won't wrap your head around it
Motes of hope light and take wing again, playing me like a poorly tuned guitar
And now I swear to any gods that will listen that I can chop down mountains
Dig up thousands of miles and scatter them up to the wind's caprices
As vengeance richly deserved for their sins
Haul cities across continents with my rough and unsubtle hands
