Lyrics
The Gadfly
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Another socialite elected in to reign
Another gross injustice suffered to enable
This olden postulation bred by disdain
The moral of a mighty fist must be forsaken
They live their lives concerned with subjugation
Useless in their own naivety
And for honor
I'll make them look into the mirror
How do you sleep at night entangled by these chains?
The unexamined life is hardly worth the labor
So many questions sleeping soundly in your head
It takes a thoughtful mind to answer them instead
For thought you claim to know the truth
Surrounding your existence
To know that you know nothing makes you wise
So I'll play the role of the gadfly
As I continue to find
My way towards the light
Of virtue and grace
I learn to embrace
This momentary life
For everything, I've realized
Will aid me, assuage me
For the day I die
Undaunted by sentence to go towards the river
I walk like a soldier to war
No promise of freedom can ever be made
For my prison will always remain in life
So with honor and valor my ally
I'll play the role of the gadfly
Make certain my legacy
As a moral compass, I fight
To sway the minds of the titled on high
And with a sip of this blight
I will uphold what I know is right
For on this day, I die
I'll play the role
I will uphold
I'll fight the good fight
