i'm lost in the half world where the heart and mind collide

on the shores of my dispassion with all feelings locked inside

who made the promise that the key of life is here

who drew the symbols for the mind that will appear

and i continue down the road i will not tread

and i will fear no evil from the words i have not said

who made the promise that the way of life is clear

who drew the symbols for the man that will appear



colder than starlight older than the sun

straight lines converging collapsing into one vast soul

a voice that has not spoken for 2000 years

a jealous benefactor and a yardstick full of fears



motivate your mystery i'm young enough to try

quantify your influence i'm old enough to die

signify your energy i'm tired of asking why

resolve your dichotomy i am both truth and lies



a merciful forgiveness a judgement absolute

a sacred separation or a prophecy of doom

no recollection (i don't recall) of what has gone before

no precognition (no sign at all) of what i have in store



motivate your mystery i'm young enough to try

quantify your influence i'm old enough to die

signify your energy i'm tired of asking why

resolve your dichotomy i am both truth and lies



too late your nemesis is coming for you

awakened from your sleep by what you must do

the mocking eyes of he who would devour your soul

staring through your thoughts and he is laughing at your goal



this way is easy it is logical and cruel

you can be powerful and make up your own rules

don't you see? it don't matter, what you believe

your whole existence is the reason for my fun

your weak resistance is an indulgence i've become



i was there at the beginning i will be there at the end

i'm your secret enemy and your fair weather friend

help yourself to all my gifts and my seductive charms

sign your name in blood give me all your love

with me or against me i still have no need of faith

ignorance is no excuse not one of you is safe

i control the selfishness that keeps you all in line

your running out of time i control your minds

don't you see? it don't matter, what you believe



motivate your mystery i'm young enough to try

quantify your influence i'm old enough to die

signify your energy i'm tired of asking why

resolve your dichotomy i am both truth and lies
