Doubt
06:43
|

Sometimes...
The world in our minds
Is so sublime
That we just cannot resist
Like we're under our own spell
So just
What will we find by pondering
Meanwhile our minds are wandering
Think of the time we're squandering
For "truth"...
There's only one way to know
What lies beyond the grave...
Gripping tightly onto our imaginings
These images...
That we favor above all other things....
All other things...
We're spellbound by our own minds
And we've seen where this can go...
Don't you know...
Only doubt can set you free
'Cause only through doubt can truth be seen to be
There's no way of knowing otherwise
What's truth and what's nothing but lies
When anything goes...goes...goes...
When anything goes...
'Cause we don't get to choose what we want the truth to be
So just
What's this about suggestions
Accepted without a question when
Only through doubt can the truth be seen as true?

Devourer of Time

There’s a ravenous beast
Devouring all of time
It lurks with its jaws wide open
Always a moment behind…

Floating
Upon
The Abyss
Of My Subconscious
Now I Find Myself
Adrift on an endless sea of black
Surrounded by slithering forms
Ever threatening to attack
Floating
Upon
The Abyss
Of My Subconscious
This featureless void
With lapping waves
Of pleasure and pain
Driving me insane
My thoughts and memories
Float to the surface
And then sink again down below
Floating
Upon
The Abyss
Of My Subconscious
Shuffling through an endless stream
Of realities
Which one shall be mine to bear?
Each ripple reflecting my own mortality
Rowing on this endless tide
Without a shore on any side
I plunge below...
Drowning (alone on this sea)
Upon (the depths within me)
The abyss (this ocean so deep)
Of my subconscious

These dreams
They flash before my eyes
Yet it seems
Any trace of hope always dies
How can I bear this pain within me
As I long for what cannot be?
Yet still I reach
For that which I desire
Ignoring the impossibility
Of this mere figment of a fantasy
Which I cannot acquire
How can I bear this pain within me
As I long for what cannot be?

Upon Desolate Sands
05:14
|
|||
On these sands
I find myself alone again
Through my hands
My fortune slips away
How will I ever ever escape…
Escape…. from this never-ending labyrinth?
On this arid desert plane I’ve run for days
As sounds of something else in the maze
Echo through the haze…
Following me along my way
Doglike beasts want their feast
Encircling me…
They’re coming for me
No matter which way I run

Children at War
03:52
|
|||
I see a child
Charging ahead
Now more form a line
How many soon will be dead?
How could it have come to this?
With children fighting in wars?
Ignorance can't still be bliss
Not when the children fighting are yours
They come with bombs in their hands
We know beforehand
How this all ends....
Fever pitch...
Tensions arise
Soon we'll see
The dawn of our children's demise
There's no way of changing the course of this now
It's much too late
As the hillsides run red with their blood...
With their blood...
How could it have come to this?
With children fighting in wars?
Ignorance can't still be bliss
Not when the children fighting are yours
How could it have come to this?
With children fighting in wars?
Ignorance can't still be bliss
Not when the children DYING are yours

Escape
04:20
|
|||
With the giant gone I wonder if I'll ever find my way
Through this labyrinth of my dreams where I'm confined to stay
How will I ever find...
Find a way to escape?
In a moment of lucidity I find myself again
Wondering could this be the place where I will meet my doom?
I have got to persevere and find another way 'till then
Will the spirits in my dreams ever guide me from this tomb?
How will I ever find...
Find a way to escape?
Every passage that I follow seems to look the same as the last
Filled with never ending torments from my long lost past
How will I ever find...
Find a way to escape?
How will I ever find...
A way to escape?
No.....there's no way out...
There's no way out....
