My Blakean Year

In my Blakean year
 I was so disposed
 Toward a mission yet unclear
 Advancing pole by pole
 Fortune breathed into my ear
 Mouthed the simple ode
 One road is paved in gold
 One road is just a road
 In my Blakean year
 Such a woeful schism
 The pain of our existence
 Was not as I envisioned
 Boots that trudged from track to track
 Worn down to the sole
 One road is paved in gold
 One road is just a road
 ♪
 Boots that tramped from track to track
 Worn down to the sole
 One road was paved in gold
 One road was just a road
 
 In my Blakean year
 Temptation yet a hiss
 Just the shallow spear
 Robed in cowardice
 ♪
 Brace yourself for bitter flack
 For a life sublime
 A labyrinth of riches
 Never shall unwind
 The threads that bind the pilgrim's sack
 Are stitched into the Blakean back
 So throw off your stupid cloak
 Embrace all that you fear
 For joy shall conquer all despair
 In my Blakean year
 So throw off your stupid cloak
 Embrace all that you fear
 For joy shall conquer all despair
 In my Blakean year

 Mercy have the human hart
 Pity the human face
 Love, the human form divine
 Peace, the human dress
 To mercy, pity, peace and love
 All prey in their distress
 But mercy shall embrace
 Mercy shall embrace
 Mercy
 It is the mercy
 It is the mercy
 Mercy shall embrace
 Mercy shall embrace
 Mercy shall embrace
 It's the mercy
 The mercy
