Answers To The Riddle
I found the riddle's answer
I drank from the deep fountain
I walked hidden paths, I climbed the mountain
I learned there is real treasure
I saw secrets lie within
I sensed the values, I know what to win
I put ads in the paper
I tapped doors in morning sun
I woke-up the town, I told everyone
I signed contracts with myself
I swore to God with a stand
I made a blood-oath, I shook my own hand
Hear, hear the proclamation
"There's no way to achieve it.
You're already home. Simply believe it."
