Nothing is as it seems;
What we see with open eyes is often not but dreams.

Be ye bold, but be wary,
Lest you fall and find a fate to share with the canary.

Deep we dive into the skies to find a blood-red new frontier,
While those behind struggle to find a life worth living here.
On every side, mouths opened wide, no moments left to chew,
Don’t wait to long to hear the song; those teeth they search for you.
