[Opening]
Nos docti, pensantes,
Sed non semper veridici.
[Verse 1]
At the zenith of wisdom,
No defying myself,
To the point of reaction,
You purposed and I dispose.
(Mark) I see what you mean,
It's clear what you say,
The truth isn't just a derivative of your views,
These are my thoughts,
No discussion,
My righteous plan.
[Chorus]
Just think it over now,
Another point of view,
It's time we realize our errs,
Where is it leading to if nobody sees it,
There's never an absolute.
[Verse 2]
Nos docti, pensantes,
Sed non semper veridici,
I can be so enchanting,
With words beset in gold,
Your senseless demanding,
You propose and I dispose,
(Mark) I see what you mean,
It's clear what you say,
The truth isn't just a derivative of your views,
This is the way,
No discussion,
In my life.
[Chorus Repeat]
[Verse 3]
(Mark) You're in denial...
Can we trust all the facts,
And believe that the fancied wise are just and needed?
(Simone) Do we want to rely on the views,
Of the righteous ones who are succeeding?
You look all around and you see,
All the things that are not meant to be,
Then you know it's time to let them go,
[Verse 4]
Your fury can no longer stand,
This hauteur will come to an end,
Looking for leftover friends is in vain,
You'll be alone again,
(Mark) No more refusal,
Face it slow down,
(Simone) It is for renewal,
And expect no miracles,
(Expect no miracle when you're in an endless fall)
No regrets if you're leaving,
You're a true deceiver,
(Accept the here and now
Or regret will end up)
[Verse 4]
Mas of justice,
Shield of menacing strength,
Will not bend only break,
Can't we respect,
Can we neglect,
(No respecting so neglecting)
Those who are suffering in need of help?
(Those who suffer, needing our help)
You are the one I wouldn't like to become,
(You are not the one I would like to become)
Not at all in the end,
(Hear our calling)
Carry me slowly in the depths of your life,
(Fear the thunder)
Free me from barren fields and gray thunder lies,
(Semblance falling)
Under the grand facade the truth loves to hide.
[Verse 5]
Can we trust all the facts,
And believe that the fancied wise are just and needed?
Do we want to rely on the views,
Of the righteous ones who are succeeding?
If you look all around and you see,
All the things that are not meant to be,
Then you know it's time to let them go,
To let them go.
[Closing]
Nos docti,
Sed plus scimus,
Non sperentes,
Quod dicunt Alii.
Nos docti, pensantes,
Sed non semper veridici.
