lyrics

"Primordium / The Skeptic Beholder"

Decaying we are falling in this course of life
among their solid structures, as thread of knife
we seek all the responses between trash and lies
but no one has the answer about live to die.
I feel kind of weird, something’s going on
estrange is to survive in this paradox
the prophecy take shape, saving none
evolution and advance, the unorthodox…

… The skeptic beholder.

Love brings the glaze of light within my heart
so tripping and so inspired as form of art
to reveal me that existence is something simple
to reveal me the distance of worlds apart.
Only you can see my secrets, know my reasons
only you I trust in this changing season
litigation and pride, will we surpass?
only you know why, why am I…

… The skeptic beholder.

To emancipate this whole world
we shall breakdown to take control.
Regenerate our inner selves
wash our souls and save ourselves.
Too much surrender shall bring us suffering
we must stop being used and end the hurting…

… An open eye it’s an open mind
we are slaughtering our own kind!
We are the skeptics, we are the blind
the right direction is hard to find.
We make a stand, we make it bind,
to be in the end another slave to the grind!...

I’ve come to grief in this ethnic world
happiness and joy beyond grasp
my strength’s hidden in the gale of cold
conviction and sense… In harsh.
No, you can’t save me my love from this profound ditch
my chest hurts every minute, it won’t switch
courage it’s a virtue of the minor being
but I’m just too divided for what I’ve seen…

… The skeptic beholder.
