The scientist purported that there ain't no purpose,
|
and the theologian told me that it's all been designed,
|
and I'm trying to maintain objectivity.
|
|
The world won't illuminate what really matters,
|
and I'm an imperfect mortal meaning extractor.
|
Processing the complexity.
|
|
Born of the Earth
|
(Are we blind?)
|
We weren't given a choice
|
(There's no way)
|
What about free will?
|
(What we have)
|
Do we have a voice?
|
(Is shattered faith)
|
See them run in place
|
(Here and now)
|
In the human rat race
|
(No reward)
|
So much dead weight
|
(No debate)
|
To our disgrace
|
(Shattered Faith)
|
|
Life begins when you accept your fate.
|
|
Paralysis from forces raging out of control until,
|
my confidence and will are at an all-time low.
|
Just directionless wandering.
|
Eternal life, eternal truth, eternal secrets,
|
isolated hopes and hypotheses just,
|
leave me feeling so hungry.

|
Life begins when you accept your fate.
|
|
Right or wrong,
|
the main criterion is what you do and not what you say.
|
The roads you take, the friends you make and those you throw away.
|
|
The method is a simple synthesis of the past and present state.
|
You never lose if the path you choose is one you can easily navigate.
|
|
I had a dream, light and carefree,
|
But now there's doubt and gravity.
|
|
But I won't run in place
|
(Are we blind?)
|
in the human rat race
|
(There's no way)
|
I can set the pace
|
(What we have)
|
And accept my fate
|
(Is shattered faith)
|
Shattered faith
|
(Here and now)
|
Shattered faith
|
(No reward)
|
The part of me
|
(No debate)
|
I can't erase
|
