No crushing blow shall pierce a wall of ignorance.
For that, ignorance is bliss.
To be God in your own world, surrounded by shadows
Proves not to be great leadership.
Observe beliefs and replace ignorance with knowledge.
For knowledge is life, the way we live.
Naive and ignorant; Uninformed and dead.
We journey through this, a book of lies.
The moon smiles when the sun fails.
When all knowledge is collected,
all ignorance is gone and
you ascend to the gates of glory.
