[Lyric] One So Wise (Spock's Beard)

He headed out that night into the dark
Inspired by a fleeting thought
"Could there be more to this epigraph
Than the bill of goods that I just bought?"

And with a rush, his feet began to move
Pacing with a quickening heart
Would this be the thing he'd chased for years
Or just another lifeless start?

You are
The still glowing ember
Just waiting to burn
You cannot know
That which you will not learn

Suddenly, now the clouds have gone
Darkness giving way unto the dawn
Every step toward redemption seals his fate
One so wise as he once knew
The unturned stone will hide what's true
And offer us our desire far too late
I am the Id
I am your present danger
Holding the truth within my hand
Reveal the face of fear inside of you, lad
Unseat me if you can
I've always been here
I'll always be here
I hope you understand

There's only one real thing
It's been you all along
Go forward and tell them
Before the memory has gone
