"For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories." -Plato


Stranger is sitting by the edge
A housewife mumbles at the hedge
Dragon spits out tumbling fire
The man at the counter begs for hire

And we are all slaves
Slaves to our own desire

Fire is lying on the sun
Another bank-robber on the run
A demon sitting in the mire
The man in the plane takes her higher

And we are all slaves
Slaves to our own desire

The mantis dancing at the steep
Another preacher's soul to keep
The informant wears the wire
Stranger kills the towns crier

And we are all slaves
Slaves to our own desire

Another titan feels the pound
Throw that coffin in the ground
Janice drives, but he's a flyer
The salesman looking for his buyer

Another titan feels the pound
Throw that coffin in the ground
Janice drive's, but he's a flyer
The salesman looking for his buyer

The author's comments:
Don't be intimidated or threatened by things that are different. After all, you always have something in common: mortality and desire.
