[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.

[Verse 1]

An overactive mind where a thousands thoughts come floating by,
Will not be able to slow down in time.
Don't be afraid live in the now, enjoy simplicity.
Avoid incentives that will make you blind.
Don't let it burn you down,
Live in the heart.
Experience the now.

[Chorus]

(Choir) To really know yourself,
Ignore your mind and find yourself again.
Life is always challenging.
To really find yourself,
You can't be blind to signals you obtain and gain.
Thoughts are slowly changing here.

[Verse 2]

Here in the now if you identify with your own heart,
We'll change your views and make you feel at home.
You're...

[Verse 1]

Everlasting nights leave all views behind,
Limits will become less clear and,
A mystery memory laid out in a dream,
This endeavors causing fear.
That's why I can't explain this stabbing pain,
Come undone with nightly rhyming.
It's time for me to roll the dice.
(Absent sanctity, it's shifting gravity)
(Choir) Addiction's growing faster, making you go insane.
Ivory fangs are smiling, you'll have to break the habit.
Imprisonment's appraoching, catching the savages,
The mirror's magic showing chemical insomnia.

[Chorus]

(Simone) Don't give in to all of this,
Dive into ecstatic bliss.
Tame the lion...

[Opening]

Declining: all colors fading,
Defining: time coming for me,
Rescinding: my inspiration,
Receding consciousness.

[Verse 1]

Back in the day,
I can recall that,
My thoughts were unclouded and sage,
There was no black staining the walls of my memories,
Now there's a haze pushing me sideways,
And leaving me nothing to gain,
Taking me back,
Locking me in cold and disparity,
Where was I mean to be?
I feel like I'm lost in a dream,
Long for the day I can be myself.

[Chorus]

When I'm free,
When my sun has set,
Released my soul forever,
I'll have no regrets,
To being free,
I'll exist again,
No more lost endeavors,...
