Текст песни Introduction (The Gift) - ShiShi

Year after year
You've become so accomplished at fortifying yourself
As a young man, you couldn't sit still, so you left
You left home
Looking for a game to play
Looking for a way to stake your claim
For somewhere to focus your aim
To make the world know your name

Looking for a dragon to slay
A wild and uncontrollable storm to tame
Maybe it's in your DNA
Maybe it's for the love of the game
Maybe it's a way to make yourself stay
Even after you've left this world
Or maybe, just maybe
It's because you don't want to feel so lame

At any rate, it's an addicting game to play
And now that you've gotten good at it
There's no end to the lust for conquest
That courses through your veins
Now that you've gotten a taste
It feels like there's not a second to waste
Because no amount of devotion from the world
Will ever be enough

Can you feel the subtle sense of captivity
That pervades all your skillful victories?
The world is not meant to be conquered
It's meant to be loved
Anything else is fear masquerading as love

So return home, young man
To every room in your house
And commit yourself to truth
As vigilantly as you once did to power
And then you will know real power
Give yourself the gift you didn't know you needed
And you will need nothing else from the world
