Bright lights yelling
The stage dancing
The acts thrilling
The applauses thundering
Behold! I am the actor on this stage!
I will only dance to the melody of my calling
Seizing the moment and turning it golden
But nay! i will not be seduced by these bright lights
With its applause and delights
On this stage i am blind to anyone's act
I only see me
My energy will be channelled to my craft
Because this stage is only on a loan
And when the deed is done
The applause is no more
And the lights are dimmed
Curtains drawn
I will not lurk in the shadows
Mourning my past glory
But like a soldier taking his last breath
So will i take my deserved seats with the immortals!
