Without knowing when Without knowing where you stand How could you be what you need to be Surrounded by threats Inflicted by desires I could place some bets While your heart is pierced with spires Raise your head & find a purpose Amid a mist of grunts & sobs If your senses are doubtful then know That the only truth reigns in your sorrow Velvet & emerald The fate of abundance stays ephemeral In hell or in heaven You will get what you're given I'm not blaming you For putting wrong names on what you don't understand Raise your head & find a purpose Amid a mist of sweets & words But in the end, as you'll be nervous You'll run through those wards You'll run in a circle You'll crawl on marble Let them stroke your hair Nothing could be easier Oh if your eyes could only see the best in you More than pride, cherish your sins This is what you've decided to do Here is no innocence Only a feast of ignorance Here is no penitence Only a beast in your presence And if you're seeking for a foe He's hiding in your mind A ba*tard born in you An instinct moving down your spine Let them stroke your hair Nothing could be easier Oh if your eyes could only see the best in you More than pride, cherish your sins This is what you've decided to do Now run
