i'm lost in the half world where the heart and mind collide on the shores of my dispassion with all feelings locked inside who made the promise that the key of life is here who drew the symbols for the mind that will appear and i continue down the road i will not tread and i will fear no evil from the words i have not said who made the promise that the way of life is clear who drew the symbols for the man that will appear colder than starlight older than the sun straight lines converging collapsing into one vast soul a voice that has not spoken for 2000 years a jealous benefactor and a yardstick full of fears motivate your mystery i'm young enough to try quantify your influence i'm old enough to die signify your energy i'm tired of asking why resolve your dichotomy i am both truth and lies a merciful forgiveness a judgement absolute a sacred separation or a prophecy of doom no recollection (i don't recall) of what has gone before no precognition (no sign at all) of what i have in store motivate your mystery i'm young enough to try quantify your influence i'm old enough to die signify your energy i'm tired of asking why resolve your dichotomy i am both truth and lies too late your nemesis is coming for you awakened from your sleep by what you must do the mocking eyes of he who would devour your soul staring through your thoughts and he is laughing at your goal this way is easy it is logical and cruel you can be powerful and make up your own rules don't you see? it don't matter, what you believe your whole existence is the reason for my fun your weak resistance is an indulgence i've become i was there at the beginning i will be there at the end i'm your secret enemy and your fair weather friend help yourself to all my gifts and my seductive charms sign your name in blood give me all your love with me or against me i still have no need of faith ignorance is no excuse not one of you is safe i control the selfishness that keeps you all in line your running out of time i control your minds don't you see? it don't matter, what you believe motivate your mystery i'm young enough to try quantify your influence i'm old enough to die signify your energy i'm tired of asking why resolve your dichotomy i am both truth and lies
