Lyrics
Man is a strange creature
Man is a peculiar being.
All his action are motivated by desire
All his actions are driven by desire.
His character forged by pain
His character is shaped by pain.
As much he may try to suppress that pain
Despite attempts to suppress pain,
To repress desire
He cannot escape the eternal struggle to repress desire.
He cannot free himself from eternal
He remains bound to perpetual servitude to his feelings.
Servitude to his feelings
For as long as internal storms persist,
For as long as the storm rages within him
Peace eludes him.
He cannot find peace
Neither in life nor in death.
Not in life, Not in death
Wherever sought in this maze
In the labyrinth of life's pursuit,
Among them all, the senses rebel
The senses rebel against all endeavors.
The architects of all we hold dear
The creators of cherished ideals
Desired, only to be left alone
Desired only to be abandoned.
Whenever the light takes hold
When light prevails,
Only the night will answer
Only the night provides answers.
From nocuous hands to a bloodless mouth
From harmful actions to a lifeless existence,
Timid steps to awful ruins in
Timid steps lead to dreadful ruins,
A heart more empty than the sun
In a heart emptier than the sun.
Whatever sown just withers and dies
Whatever is sown eventually withers and dies,
A harvest of defeat and defilade
Resulting in a harvest of failure and concealment.
Whenever words fail
When words falter,
A wound of it's own making
A self-inflicted wound remains.
From inmost sense to languid hope
From the innermost senses to fading hope,
To speak of love in solemn tones to
To express love with solemnity to
A heart more empty than the sun
A heart emptier than the sun.
But nothing is given for nothing:
But nothing is granted without cost:
I can take ending alone
I can accept an ending alone,
Like I began just please
Just as I began, please
Don't ask me to remember
Don't request me to remember.
