Let me tell you a beautiful story…
Once upon a time in a small village
A young soul was eager to know
What is the truth?
What stand beyond?
What lies behind the eyes couldn't see
The elder could not answer
The questions he had asked
So he sat and stared at the sky
What stand beyond life?
Could it be the end or the beginning?
Or something we learned not to perceive?
A force hidden in you?
A treasure filled with jewels?
I sense it is more than it seems
Is it more than I have imagined?
More than all I have dreamed?
Suddenly, a voice started to shout
Let's join the mutation
Mutated living organism
Let's join the mutation
Become a mutant
What is this voice?
Where is it from?
I don't see anyone around
But me and myself
How can this be?
Please help me, I am so confused…
Bah! … It takes a lot more than that to keep me out my way…sorry
Let's join the mutation
Here comes the mutant
On a moonless night, we sailed away
For what it seems, a major discovery
Worlds where boldly we go
A reason and a commitment
Our faith will stay afloat
Once upon a time in a small village
A young soul was eager to know
What is the truth?
What stand beyond?
What lies behind the eyes couldn't see
The elder could not answer
The questions he had asked
So he sat and stared at the sky
What stands beyond life is life itself
The end and the beginning
Of something we learned not to perceive
A force hidden in you
A treasure filled with jewels
I know now it is more than it seems,
More than I have imagined
More than all I have dreamed
And it grows inside my foolish soul
J'entends le ressac hurlant, s'élevant de la mer des âmes perdues
Fracassant en cohorte, les rudes récifs de la vertu
Et j'entends au rivage, le rire des sages
S'amusant comme des enfants, à qui sera le plus fervent
N'ayant que d'égard, au mérite de leur gloire
Est-ce là, toute la grandeur de leur quête de vérité?
(Cri des âmes qui s'échouent)
Sous l'éther de la biosphère s'unit le son de ces voix
Une qui blâme l'inconscience et l'autre qui clame son innocence
Qui a raison, qui a tort? Ma foi, je ne peux en juger.
Car à la lumière de la connaissance, surgit l'ombre de l'ignorance
Écho d'une âme en quête d'illumination
Sans mode ni fonction, cherchant sa définition
Négligeant les sages, la tête dans les nuages ont égaré les pages de leur livre sacré
À défaut de repère, crise identitaire
Et quand une âme se perd, c'est l'humanité entière qui s'en retrouve dépositaire
Écho d'une âme en exaltération
Quiconque voudra sauver son âme la perdra
Fierté et gloire semblent bien dérisoires
S'il est des bateaux d'ivoire, épars dans le brouillard, voguant au désespoir
Comment peuvent-ils y voir, si les anciens ont déserté leur phare?
Une seule feuille ne jaunit sans le silencieux assentiment de l'arbre en entier.
Sous l'éther de la biosphère s'unit le son de ces voix
Une qui blâme l'inconscience et l'autre qui clame son innocence
Qui a raison, qui a tort? Ma foi, je ne peux en juger
Car à la lumière de la connaissance, surgit l'ombre de l'ignorance
À ceux qui aspirent au ciel, au salut éternel, sachez bien qu'ils ne seront point
Tant que tous ne l'auront atteint
Comment élèverez-vous, ceux que vos reproches blessent d'un ton autoritaire
La solution, un saut communautaire
À ceux qui ont comme seule manne l'adoration, sachez qu'il y a une date d'expiration
Puissiez-vous connaître la véritable raison qui motive votre désir d'épuration
Exaltération
Into the fortress of faith, man confines his own conscience
Blinded by ignorance, restricting their way of seeing life
As man set his sight on a God divine, he loses all sense of perspective
Follower of a doctrine; just turn the page to be fully deceived
Enter the Realm and you shall be save
Free from all your sins, under Thy authority
Alleluia
Enter the Realm and pray faithfully
Rejoice in Thy name, the Holy truth we detain
Your truth excludes one kind, the one who don't believes in it
And therefore it divides
How can you preach for unity when it brings division?
I don't know but it seems that all this has become a little too contradictory
For the truth is what you want…what you want it to be
It negates your doubt and it uses you as much as you use it
Words of wisdom, spraying forth intolerance
Your truth excludes one kind, the one who don't believes in it
Therefore it divides, symbol of rivalry
Man-made gods, how many souls have you sent to roam in the depths of hell?
Too many!
Cant' you feel their pain, all suffering in the name of your pride and glory!
Into the fortress of faith, man confines his own conscienc
Blinded by ignorance, restricting their way of seeing life
Your truth makes you denied your life, yourself, your own divinity, just learn how to fly over ether'n'thee
