Leave It All To Hell

What would the wise-man do, he asked A question posed to me What circumstance has led me here I seek my own degree To learn of life, from life itself I hope in time to know The secrets of the wisest fools Aloft and down below Then learn, he said, go shake, he said The tree, of fear and pain And see, he said,what falls, he said What trinkets you may gain For knowledge is the gateway For the lowly to excel Go leave the past, behind you And leave it all to Hell "Is lowly, how you see me then" Indignantly I cried "Well, lowly is as you see you Just take a look, inside" "For all you know is ample Enough to join the dots You're wise enough to know", he said "The haves and the have-nots" "I quest, my Lord, for answers Do not trifle with me, please I need to know the secrets Those, that others find, with ease" "So fill my cup eternal 'Til it brims with all you know Lead me gently, to the light, I beg For with you I must go" "You know me as a stranger, friend You think me, on the level I may just be an Angel Or I may be the Devil So take that 'Leap of Faith' And ignore that rancid smell Abandon all your burdens And leave it all to Hell"
