Quintessense Songtext

In the land of the blind rules the one-eyed king
In the land of the dead it's the saved that sing
In the land of the light rests salvation's ark
But the land of the living's the land of the dark

That lifeless face upon his head
Shows us that he's truly dead
But isn't that the fate of us all?
Some day we'll each answer death's call

Fear
In your eyes
Deadly
Disguise

Don't hold
Your breath
When they see
Through your lies
Bleeding out in the rain
Our hearts never beat the same
But when we bleed we bleed alike
A symphony of pouring pain

Our minds consume the carousel of life
And digs a grave of surreal strife
The saints, the sinners, the ally and foe
In human nature we seek to know


What is our purpose?
Do we deserve this?
Why can't we find
The truth, so amiss?

Sparks from the flame
Built in God's name
To populate this universe
Is that our only aim?


Why are
We here?
The end
Seems so near

Will we find
Our purpose?
Will our course
Become clear?

Infinity's a curse
That makes the sages cry
You won't want to live
Once there's no one left to die

I have no breath left in my lungs
No life left to live
No spirit in my soul
No soul left to give

Reincarnation
Heaven or Hell
What comes when the soul leaves the flesh
And life leaves every cell?

If there's a soul is there also a God?
But if there is not is life the sole start?
How can we know when we can't even see?
The light hidden from us, our mind's misery!

So we die, then what?
How's belief the key to salvation
How are we expected
To choose the right revelation?

That's the fear in my faith
The longing in my hate
The doubt in my certainty
About my fate


So, what is our purpose?
Do we deserve this?
Why can't we find
The truth, so amiss?

Sparks from the flame
Built in God's name
To populate this universe
Is that our only aim?


Science and truth
Religion and proof
When will our knowledge
Escape from this youth?

Will we be blind
The stars are aligned
Quintessence filling
The void in our minds!


Who are we? Where are we?
When are we? How are we?
What are we? Why are we?
Why are we here?

Is it in fear
That we find ourselves lost?
Is it in death
That we realize the cost?

Is it in love
That we find ourselves rest?
Or is it in hate
That we must be the best?

In this reality
This corporeal world
Our purpose seems lost (I know I'll)
And our aims, they seem furled (Never learn to fly)

We came from flame
Perhaps built in God's name
Perhaps we've lived before
Perhaps we'll live again

Maybe we won't
Maybe death is the end
Or maybe we'll only
Have once to transcend

Perhaps it's our purpose
Merely to live
To live and to love
And to fight and forgive

Who are we? Where are we?
Why are we here?
Quintessense our mind's way (I know one)
Of fighting the fear! (Day I'll die!)


What is our purpose?
Do we deserve this?
Why can't we find
The truth, so amiss?

Sparks from the flame
Built in God's name
To populate this universe
Is that our only aim?


Non spiritum meum in pulmone
Nulla vitae erat vivamus
Sed spiritus in anima mea
Omnis anima ad sinistram

Non spiritum meum in pulmone
Nulla vitae erat vivamus
Sed spiritus in anima mea
Omnis anima ad sinistram

What is our purpose?
Do we deserve this?
Why can't we find
The truth, so amiss?

Sparks from the flame
Built in God's name
To populate this universe
Is that our aim?

Science and truth
Religion and proof
When will our knowledge
Escape this youth?

Will we be blind
The stars are aligned
Quintessence filling
The void in our minds!
