Altered Aeon - Oath To Endure lyrics

A spirit awakes, encapsuled in matter crude Encapsuled in the world of time and flesh Under an oath to endure Survive severe conditions In a systematic search of the soul To return to what it is Dulled by the world, seeking Blindfolded bliss, hiding Reaching for truth, fragments Drugged by this place, wading through illusions Drowning in filth, submerged Lost in the role of man Identified as one Lasting for less than a breath in time Embracing the hate, falling Releasing the rage, inside Striking its own shadows Suddenly wakes, knowing its origin It's what it calls enemy It is its own saviour Never has it been separate Part in a plan complete, patterns return Once so clear, but gone as temptation's tasted Collapse in fear, valuable progress wasted Where is the knowing, the creative splendor Under an oath, an oath to endure Once so clear, but gone as temptation's tasted Collapse in fear, valuable progress wasted Where is the knowing, the creative splendor Under an oath, an oath to endure Seeing the whole in fragments
