There has to be life to ensure death

There has to be death 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 death

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?
