Analyze, reconsider, take action We strive for true happiness In a broken society driving us insane Forcing us to find a way to keep misery away For some time or life time Rebuild...or... Escape...
Using the eternal "Drowners of cares" Withdrawing us from the pressure of reality
To ascend to our own perfect worlds Where depression never knocks Where our wildest dreams are reality Where nothing is earthbound Limitless...
Our mental state is decreasing daily Our perception of the external world is blinded By our hunger for pleasure and satisfaction of our needs
Cowardly avoiding all confrontation Avoiding the evil we can't understand The deceptions we can not stand
The discrepancy between both worlds grows With every intoxication We become madmen Delusional, perverted, isolated... Hoping for a better tomorrow Intoxicated, disconnected from reality Hoping for things to change for the best while we are gone
Escaping the wastelands To safer plains of enjoyment Scared of everything we can't control Real life crushes us to pieces And demolishes all irrational expectations
We can't protect ourselves from The inevitable sources of suffering : The feebleness of our transient bodies... The wrath of mother nature... The hostility of mankind... Which are bound to wipe us out of the map eventually Through all suffering, through all worshiping Lies one indisputable factor Time... Time is our only rational master
No matter who we are Where we're from What we've done Honest or evil Rich or poor Once we hear the clock ticking It never leaves us Like a poison it runs through our cells Haunts our every move and thought And one day...It stops In the blink of an eye, an entire life Of memories, of joy, of pain, of suffering, of love even Disappears into eternal oblivion Eternal darkness
Silence! Close your eyes and just let go
We are at the edge of the world At the dawn of a new reign Or the end of a foolish dream
