Lyrics and translation
Original
And they wonder how we find the strength to cope when the system got us locked up, the stroll fade away to the times.
Spirit was so mindless, life becomes a dream as we struggle to be closer to the word, using waves to be heard, dedicated to being seen as we journey through the land of the herd with delusions of the singular.
You don't have to cry for help, things aren't always what they seem.
They define you out from the play, relatively unseen.
Perspective seldom understood, the one that march in dreams while we lose the tremor, subject to disease of the mind.
It's a sign of the times when we pray for the blindness.
Together, little respite for the time spent scrolling through the city in the depths of our mind, seeing visions of the spirit that the beast had designed. God help you.
Tell me, where's the temptation station?
Passed within the earth, lose the courage to conform, mingle dreams with reality, the image, the form, the myth, the triumph, the magic over logic, the world through fiber optic, like the web society holds you through.
Pass on the chance to speak when you think it's true.
Silence holds the key, waits and sees you through. So many doors, so many flowers to consume.
Let the cold wind blow, that the leaves may reveal who's the sturdiest.
Interspace, quantum, metaphysical options connected to the source, to the root.
Let the dark power guide your way, eat of the fruit. I am the Black, I am the heart.
Trouble your soul, dark mind, the eyes lowered, arms out. Say your prayers, pay the toll.
You call on the sun, look at the battles we've won.
You call on the earth, the heaven knows your worth. Nobody can ease your sentiment.
Behold the benevolent awarder of rituals, addictive spirituals.
You call out the ages, history on pages.
The planets, they still fall, the trees, they see it all. Keep from your spirit, they desire your soul.
Steady the way, emit the essence. Let them study your role in life today.
Look to the heavens, now forever the sun. Before the kingdom seen, deserve to be at one.
Before the, before the kingdom seen.
Keep from your spirit, they desire your soul. Steady the way, emit the essence.
Let them study your role in life today. Look to the heavens, now forever the sun.
Before the kingdom seen, deserve to be at one.
