Lychdom - Opportunity

They say in life opportunity comes
Like a woman in search of love
She’ll treat you kind and she’ll treat you right
And in time she will mend your heart
But if you wait and if you doubt
Opportunity comes and goes
Like in the sky the luminous sun
It will slowly turn to dusk

Take up the mantle nobody but you
Its earned in this life not the next
The wheels of reality won’t spin for you
Without some dirt in your hand

And it will not change with a whim of your hand
Sitting in your fancy chair
The doors and new treasures won’t open for you
If you will just sit there and stare

They say in life opportunity comes
in a young man’s questing soul
It’s quick to jump and it’s quick to soar
On a wings of a righteous cause
But don’t be quick to lay it down
Opportunity owes no ties
One day a friend one day a foe
And the crossroads judge us all

Years have past, and still I wonder, where is the opportunity I was promised, as I searched every mountain in my sight
In books of wise men, and in stories of fools, I searched for the answers i knew not.

The scribe keeps record of every detail of our journey, and the huntsman sit there and sighs
“This land is lost” says the ferryman, as we cross the rapids “all you’ll find is ruins and snow”


They say in life opportunity comes in your sword raised high to the sky
No one but you can discover the truth and slay the giants of old
And don’t you let false prophets come and quench your majestic roar
You will break free, and you will sing...
All of life’s everlasting songs
