When the owl delivers the letter

Will I show my dad he does not know better?

I suggest an experiment — he can’t refuse

Though I know that he thinks it’s all a ruse

[Chorus]

For he who knows both science and magic

Will rule the world, I don’t know how well

Will the end of my story be tragic?

There’s no evidence yet to tell

[Bridge]

I have made mistakes, I don’t know who to trust

But the state of affairs just evokes disgust!

There is wrong in the world, it is too unjust

I must find the lever that I can adjust

With the Lord of Darkness defeated

Will I find myself in his dark throne seated?

For it is an old pattern, but is it real?

Is there light inside me enough to heal?

[Chorus]

Will I create a heaven or hell?

There’s no evidence yet to tell!
