1. Category I: Slave to the Empirical In a search for the truth of all that is perceived We draw from a well of debased faculties Diminutive agents that love to mislead Refusing to consort with our frail sanity Isolate the mind and cast off the reins And use the eyes only to reveal what they feign The iron bars craft a great catastrophe Plunging the mind into total anarchy Irrational behavior built upon the past Forces memories that seldom ever last A slave to empirical ways Engulfed by uncertainty, we stand alone Spiraling down into regions unknown The abyss swallows all, and reason is dethroned The noumenon eludes us, never to appear Unknown to the senses and propagating fear Though true reality is not within our grasp This mere realization dissolves the illusions cast Warring with the senses, reason prevails And experience is reduced to a veil 2. Category II: Discovering the Absolute Silhouettes line the horizon, silent As the wind on the most tranquil of days, Patiently waiting to be ascertained Forever nebulous until the end Ever so hungry for truth, we close in Across the desolate fields of ruin, Marching on in the midst of temptation, The serpent hissing at its abolition Plagues befall mankind and shatter its faith Convoluting the answers that await Tempests and floods breed a chasm so vast Blinding us to the false images cast Draining the majesty of both mind and soul, it grows Like a disease, this storm of falsity persists To instill the feelings of others, and rob us of our own Totalitarian darkness washes over the earth But intuition will light the path and precipitate wisdom's birth Now, with all cultural constraints removed Nothing remains but the truth, absolute Luminous forms adorn once dark landscapes What a magnificent day to escape! By way of light, we discover the absolute 3. Category III: Architect From my celestial observatory I gaze Upon a cold and dying world A world once ripe with innocence Now torn apart by ignorance When all began, fire graced the sky Casting a light met with harsh reply Swallowed by darkness, all was enslaved As marks of war were forever engraved A failing design Blood of the divine Could not be foreseen by my immaculacy With no light to shine Opposing forces entwine Forever silencing the sound of harmony An innocent race of men is bereft Of its serenity and forced to accept Perpetual war between darkness and light Afflicting them all with incurable blight A maelstrom unfolds in a quest for power Supremacy in every form is sent to devour Social, political, religious or racial Regardless of the case, my creation grows pale The raining debris of a world so cold Confounds its leaders as its souls are sold The belligerent fight, and the pacifists pray But neither one keeps conflict at bay Now I bare witness to the changing of seasons An endless cycle without rhyme or reason Fortune's departure follows its arrival And humanity remains in denial  paroles ajoutées par Scandals - Modifier ces paroles |  |
