lyrics

WHY MUST WE CHOOSE BETWEEN LIFE AND LIVING?
WHY ARE THERE TWO SIDES, ONE TAKING, ONE GIVING?
WHERE IS THE MIND FORCED WHEN THOUGHT IS SAPPED?
AND WHAT COULD ITS USE BE WHEN FREE FROM THE TRAP?
WHAT WOULD THE HEART WANT IF IT WAS TO BE LISTENED?
WHAT GRIEVANCES AIRED, FORGIVENESS GIVEN?
WHAT LONGINGS AWAKENED AND SHAME CAST OFF,
IF OFFERED THE OPTION TO CHOOSE OUR OWN LOT?
WHAT FREEDOMS OF MIND NOT YET IMAGINED
WITHOUT VOLUNTARY SHACKLES CLAMPED ON FOR PAY?
THE LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS IS BURNING
A LIGHT FOR WHICH WE CHOOSE THE WAY.
HOW SOON CAN THE FEAR CYCLE BE BROKEN?
WHO HOLDS THE RUSTED WEAK CHAIN?
WE MUST SEE CLEARLY WHAT WE’RE MISSING,
TO BREAK FREE OF THE BINDS OF OUR FATE.
WHAT WILL WE REJECT SO WE CAN RECEIVE?
HOW FAR WILL WE GO FOR US TO ACHIEVE?
A MIRAGE TAKES PLACE AS WE ALLOW IT TO APPEAR,
A TANGIBLE WORLD NOT GOVERNED IN FEAR.
A KEY TO THOUGHTS YET UNTHOUGHT.
UNLOCKED WHEN SELF TAUGHT TO BE FREE.
A GIFT FROM INSIDE TO ONESELF, IT OPENS THE DOOR TO THEIR HELL.
WITHIN YOU, THE ANSWER TO FEAR. WHISPERED, WHEN WILLING TO HEAR.
LISTEN INTERNAL TO HOPE. TRUST THE VIEW YOU SEE ABOVE.
NOW, GRASP THE LADDER.
YOU, ON YOUR OWN IS ENOUGH.
YOU, IN SILENCE CAN SPEAK.
YOU, REMOVE YOUR CONSTRAINTS.
YOU, BELONG TO YOURSELF.
