1. TO PERCEIVE IS TO SUFFER

To perceive is to suffer
As soon as you are born
To perceive is to suffer
As soon as you are born

You're dying...

To forgive is to suffer
Only in a world suffused with pain
Realizing your choice

Perceive and forgive
As knowledge enters from suffering
Life is perfected by death

To perceive is to suffer
Natural evil
To perceive is to suffer
Human ground

You're dying...

To forgive is to suffer
The mystery of all time
To forgive is to suffer
Never fully understand


2. REUNION AT GRAMOS

The mountains are calling me back
Homesick, amid this sad-mad rush
For place
For wealth
For power

The mountain stream, calling my name
Whispers - Simplicity

The calm of the mountainside
We fain to go back to a time
To a time of simplicity
For place
For wealth
For power

Sun shines the mountainside
Above the clouds
Near heaven

The mountain winds, calling my name
Whispering - Reunion


3. MEMORY ETERNAL

In my blessed falling
For eternity

Eternal rest unto me, the departed
May my memory be eternal

In my blessed falling
For eternity
In my blessed falling
For eternity
In my blessed

May my memory be eternal
May my memory be eternal

In the darkness of the grave
Freed from passions which destroy

5. TRANSCEND THE MUNDANE

Keep on speculating
The value of spirituality
Void of historicity and
Ignore the paradigm shifts

You will sail away

The easiest person to lie to is yourself
Meditating to nowhere
For pleasure's sake
In order to escape reality

Attempting to translate
The idea of redemption
Into secular terms

The easiest person to lie to is yourself
Meditating to nowhere
For pleasure's sake
In order to escape

You will sail away
With all the fools forever


6. PURPOSE SEEKER

While ultimate truth
Will never be found
You are not allowed
To give up the quest for it
Or questioning anyone

A pattern seeking
Purpose seeker realizing
Might makes right
One way or another
Purpose seeker

A pattern seeking
Purpose seeker
A pattern seeking
Purpose seeker


7. AT FATE'S HANDS (FATES WARNING COVER)

Ours is the cry of the helpless, told
In the timeless truth of the written word

Trapped by the tempest of the blind
Our muted calls can't be heard

Helpless as we stand
Amidst the push of thoughtless hands

We are adrift without direction
In a raging storm on a calm sea

Clinging to our expectations
To stem the tide of destiny

Helpless as we fall
Beneath the crush of waters walls


8. RIPPED FROM THE VOID

Placed in this flesh prison
At time of birth
Conscious realization
It sets in, it sinks in
That as innocence fades
You were placed here
To suffer, enduring
To die, waiting
Ripped from the void
Put me back in
And the longing for peace
The need for wisdom
To understand why
It sets in, it sinks in
That as innocence fades
You were placed here
To suffer, enduring
To die, waiting
Ripped from the void
Put me back in
You were
We all were
Ripped from the void


9. THE UTOPIAN

Who will save you
From yourself?
Will you throw off your chains of reason?

One cannot live with reason alone
Yet you attempt to do it, misled...

Question your mind
Question your soul

False dreams
Impractical schemes
Who will save them
From themselves?

Will they throw off their chains of reason?
Question their mind

Question their mind
Question their soul

Who will save us
From ourselves?
Will we throw off our chains of reason?

Question your mind
Question your hearts
Question your mind
Question your soul
