As Dionysus Once Told Me

Fight water with fire;
You'll drown out the fuse.
Fight water with water;
You'll never win, you'll never lose.
You played it safe.
Now slip into the deluge.

Hold on forever;
Your arms will surely fall.
Stand strong forever;
Impossible. You need to fall,
So rest your limbs
Or lose them all.

Weep over your mother;
Your tears won't give her life.
Sleep off them tremors;
Once you wake, you're numb inside.
So lay back down
If you're so set to die.

Fight water with fire,
You'll drown out the fuse.
Fight water with water,
You'll never win, you'll never lose.
You'll never change.
No, you can't be saved.
You needn't pray
When it's the gods who fix the duels.
