"Once I was what you are

Though the distance seems so far

Do not fear this certainty

I am now what you shall be"

As I fled from deep despair

Paralyzed by doubt and fear

Tore myself from nostalgic dreams

Something caught me suddenly

I pressed on with energy

My lungs heaved in harmony

As I sang, I came to see

The music came from none but me

Three ancient princes lay before me

They took up as I faltered

Harmonizing solemnly

"We are what you shall be"

And I realized my song

Had been their epitaph all along
