Immortalised Dreams of Fading Tradition
Persistently Breed in the Silence Of Minds
Hey Ma! – You told me I’d be born again
Into a world of endless hope
But I find myself confused, as the lies unfold
Fear!
Of living without reason
Of dying without believing
In a way to save my soul
Don’t want to be seen, don’t want to be heard
Afraid to talk, ashamed to learn
Follow the blind – not the wise
Hidden truth, my hands are tied
Birth of Prophets, prelude to war
I don’t know what to believe
Will I ever ride on ethereal winds?
or will I remain as scattered ash – just dust, blown away
Don’t want to be seen, don’t want to be heard
Afraid to talk, ashamed to learn
Follow the blind – not the wise
Hidden truth, my hands are tied
Birth of Prophets, prelude to war
I don’t know what to believe
Celestial tears fall upon my head
Flooding me with thoughts that I’ll never understand…
In the end Child,
the veil will close around me
And the scythe will claim my name
Can thoughts of hope really save me
Or do the wicked have no shame?
Fear!
Of living without feeling
Of dying without seeing
The meaning to it all!
Don’t want to be seen, don’t want to be heard
Afraid to talk, ashamed to learn
Follow the blind – not the wise
Hidden truth, my hands are tied
Birth of Prophets, prelude to war
I don’t know what to believe
