Why not take the sixth avenue...?
The little old man stands at the junction,
trying to get the mystery solved.
Five roads taken, heavy and frozen;
and on the sixth, traffic dissolved!
Mercy be on them who under wicked
spells forsake their true destination;
who halt every mile, lured by a heaven
painted by their own imagination!
Mercy be on them who distrust the map,
and believe not the giver of directions!
The call of the seer echoes unheard.
They doubt all but the fatal illusion!
Blessed are those who take the sixth avenue;
the only way the prophets have evolved!
They can close their eyes and march ahead,
with a nerve of steel and a heart resolved!
Greetings! Shadow has been expecting you. This way, please...
