A Bridge Too Far?

A Bridge Too Far?

When it broke I didn't know it

and the maps all told the story

and I see them now.

It's made to break you

burn you, shake you.

And I don't know fucking why.

A new Heaven

A new Earth

is this the way it plays out

It's not my place to say

I have to let the mystery remain

I guess

Who knows.

A bridge that goes to far

beyond any sun or star

you have to make the leap

or just fade away.

Or so the story goes,

you know, the one they always tell

where the hero wins

the hero with a thousand faces

a million names

a hundred races

to run

to fight

to win.

If you don't

do you begin again?
