Analysis of Scythes, Boomerangs and Wingspans
Waiting in the wings
The grim reaper stays his scythe
Till the harvest time
There are reactions
To the manner of our style
Actions boomerang
Lend me your presence
I want to sense your essence
I want to know you
Let's together soar
Let's make astounding flight-plans
Let's spread our wingspans
