When you gaze from the hilltop to the sea
it seems as smooth as a ceramic bowl,
what you observe is not what you should see.

All our philosophers seem to agree
unclarity of light takes a hard toll
when you gaze from the hilltop to the sea.

The little tower is just a half degree 
from sliding into a false magic hole,
what you observe is not what you see

but eager eyes will not set the truth free 
even though vision can never be quite sole
when you gaze from the hilltop to the sea.

The ordinary folk cannot foresee 
they have no real idea of the goal;
what you observe is not what you should see 

because you failed to set the passive free,
and made your self-destructive thoughts your soul 
when you gaze from the hilltop to the sea
what you observe is not what you should see.
