Under Threat - This Karmic Affinity lyrics

There has to be life to ensure d**h There has to be d**h to ensure life It's the ultimate paradox There has to be light to ensure dark There has to be right to ensure wrong Only in contrasts we live Silence of the unknown Shines through every form Eye of Prajna, show me the way To the cosmic door! Wisdom of the void Break all this chains of conventional thought! Shatter all these notions of self (Once and for all) We need our beliefs and concepts To fulfill the idea of ourselves We fail to see past the symbols We need our plans for tomorrow And a past to look proudly back on To build up whom we are today Want it now! I have strived enough When will I finally arrive at my goal? What's the point? Where’s the end? Cannot wait no more Need to reach success No matter the cost I need more Cannot have enough I must make you mine, must have control over all I deserve, I demand Life is way too short What have I done wrong? I cannot seem to escape this recurrent sorrow This futile grasping for what cannot be reached I cannot deal with all the sadness and horror This tragic wheel of birth and d**h This karmic affinity There must be a reason why we are here, why we're alive Or is it all a problem of semantics? Are we all stuck on metaphors?
