Lyrics
He knows his destiny
Is to know himself
He knows there's no failure
As he walks the path to himself
He knows there's no danger
And he chases fear from his heart
I am that I am
Within all the madness,
Troubles weighing down on men's hearts
He sees through their disguises
Empty gestures danced in the dark
He stands watching
Shame devour the world
His one mantra:
'Love created us'
All the thrills and choices
Keep us caught at the edge of dreams
They can't drown our voices
When Love blows through us like a wind
The world stares
Amazed and fearful
Of Black Apollo
They don't understand
What seems to drive him
