some sort of hero

who measured all the corners of the dark
and did not see the old monsters' return
has other issues which we should not spurn

there is no chance we'll find this place a park
nor for its older form shall we soon yearn
who measured all the corners of the dark

we don't require a starter nor a spark
to leave our ashes in the ancient urn
we find it easy both to love and burn
who measured all the corners of the dark
