lyrics

Why must we die ?
A sequence of events
A life of punctuated equilibrium
Misanthropic experience
in an emotional dystopia

I came from that Land
Where men dare not step foot
A land of fire and beasts and war
In the battle for tomorrow’s past
Time’slast ditch advance
Yet there’s beauty in this place
A dance of crackling embers

Remorseful abandoment
My dreams left behind.
When reality became too much to bear
the scourge of the sacred in a strange Age
where nothing is safe anymore
Embraced this Misbegotten Life,
With the burden of Atlas
I was born in the Land
Where men never come
A place to return upon that last war
between the future and the past
In time’s next advance
To see that beauty once more.
Chaotic manifestation

Behind the walls and beyond the door
Cross through the boundaries
Of the daily mundane
There Psyche looks on
A minds morose reflection
Like a blood brother, a surrogate twin

Behind the walls and beyond the door
Cross through the boundaries
Of the daily mundane
There Psyche looks on
A minds morose reflection
Like a blood brother, a surrogate twin

Memories always staring back at me
Yearning for their return
Back when I knew it all

Drawn upon a roadmap to the Stars
I travel on
A choice between alternate realities
Of possibilities obscured
Time is lost in Space
A chasm between worlds
Where the waves of the Past
Crash on Future’s shores
Until again swept out to sea

Behind the walls and beyond the door
Cross through the boundaries
Of the daily mundane
There Psyche looks on
A minds morose reflection
Like a blood brother, a surrogate twin

Why must we die ?
A sequence of events
A life of punctuated equilibrium
Misanthropic experience
in an emotional dystopia

I want more
I want to live
I want everything, to go everywhere
I want more
I want to taste
I want the Keys to see behind doors
I want to stop time
To see all the lights
within the celestial abyss
I choose to not openmy eyes
I want to bathe within
the prisms radiant light
I want to be born again
I want to relive these days
I want to be reborn before I dissolve
Learn from my mistakes
and choose a better way
I want to see one more time
the Lands chaotic allure
