They change

From day to day

All the memories

Passing away

Like distant call

Too far to obey

Same as the morning star

With first light

Fading away

Leaving no trace

Only empty space

Scared to the bone

When it comes close

But how alluring

This embrace of wonder

Chorus:

Tear down all the senses

To see all false pretences

Freed from false conviction

Arise with pure perception

Post-chorus:

Through pain, through resurrection

Aspire to perfection

Dark nigh of the soul

Reveals your hidden crown

We rot

Day after day

Our lives

Slowly evaporate

Pretending

Playing all is well

But the temper inside will tell

Hear more

Than mouth can speak

See farther

Than eye's vision, bleak

Maybe one day

You may say

The strife was worth the gain

Chorus:

Tear down all the senses

To see all false pretences

Freed from false conviction

Arise with pure perception

Post-chorus:

Through pain, through resurrection

Aspire to perfection

Dark nigh of the soul

Reveals your hidden crown

Dissolve, in your own void

Perceive not a single form

Shapeless is this return

Far beyond this world

Take leave of your senses

Your cunning pretences

Break down all the fences

And let go of your defences
