in the hollow of my skull, _ [C] _
blown by taunting winds across floors
[F]
of a remembrance of an enthusiasm [C] when, _
as a young boy full of trust and belief in the [F] ether,
_ and my own ability to pull the sword from [C] the stone,
_ _ I could envision it [F] all.
_ _ _ Breed life into it and [C] give it wings.

And _ the seven [C] pillars was in my wisdom. _ _ _ _
