Analysis of Open roads



Where broken paths seemed closed
Open roads spring anew

Crystal castles vibrate
World as stage
Within the hero’s rage

Anvils sparks engaged
Where steel is forged
Within the alchemy of
Burning flames

Tormented on threads
Of severed chords
Circles pass over
The changeless change
