Now the sordid seasons encompa** the lands Bringing dark despair into all hearts The forebears have never accepted their fate But hung on tight to their dreams instead... ...shattered like broken mirrors! Reflecting futility Hopeless confusion Ordinary pa**ion won't last an eternity How long have you followed your dreams? The trail is getting colder And the goal still no closer Futile searching in vain Hopeless we all become Shadows play in front of my eyes I can't see the path that was chosen, that I was to follow Now what's to become of me? Despite the precautions of past generations, we're running out of hand How to avoid possible lamentations When nothing goes just as you planned? When the past was present And the future was dark All hoped for a better day Change would come and change would be Engraved inside our souls and hearts... ...there will be no brighter day! All will evolve, the world will change But the failure of one will still live on Is all then truly hopeless and lost? A step from moving onwards We are barred by illusions Living inside a sphere Of what we think might be I must break these chains of delusions off me To look up and see that all Is not all it was made out to be Striking out to break preconceptions But all cannot always adhere Messages lost in the rivers of lifetimes Flowing away to somewhere Iridescent blue neon lights can't disguise Human displays of broken hope Dragging the mind through cold waters of time This illusion will not lose its grip Now where is the other way? A shadow of oblivion In the back of your mind I must break these chains of delusions off me To look up and see that all Is not all it was made out to be Now I see that I could create a superior reality But striving and changing and twisting and bending The world changes only for me All should consider all possible options Break stride and think again Drawing on strength from the will to make different The situation at hand Can the future be drawn in another direction If we try to alter its course? Or is all predetermined and since long decided By something that we cannot touch? In the answer lies questions in multiple layers And one can still bring it to fall All will evolve, the world will change But the failure of one will still live on
