The more I learn the less I feel I know
The world changes rapidly around me
Yesterday the sky shone blue as the vultures sang
Tonight they cry through inviting darkness
What I've learned I can not hide
Tempted by anger, lured by lust
Commanded my servant to bring me water
He returned with a chalice of finest wine
The taste seemed bitter unto my palette
Pleasure's not in finery, but in having my own way
What I've learned I can not hide
Tempted by anger, lured by lust
Seems so long ago
The serpent kissed me gently
Held in a cold embrace
I knew both good and evil
Now I know I will die
Toil the earth all my days
There's peace in accepting fate
No rest welcomes the dreamer
