-- Lyrics --
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

[Chorus]
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
[/Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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 and
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

[Chorus]

[Etiainen]

The song's great. Too bad the guitars aren't "strong" enough (from what I've read they were recorded in something like a flat) - the 1999 remastered version is a bit more powerful :)

[Bolteus]

@Etiainen Yeah I went for the original release as it was cheaper, the remaster is better though. :P

[ArkaFlamand]

Gives me goosebumps every time. Wonderful song, brilliant lyrics.

By the way, don't you think this would make a good addition to the soundtrack if they ever made "The Lost Symbol" into a movie? ;-)
