Facade of Reality
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit)
(Macula aeternitatis, nunquam detergenda
Quisnam surget et deteget, imaginem veritatis?)
People created religious inventions
To give their lives a glimmer of hope and to ease their fear of dying
And people created religious intentions
Only to feel superior and to have a license to kill
Our desire to die is stronger than all your desire for life
There is no getting away from it now, only true faith survives
People created religious inventions
To give their lives a glimmer of hope and to ease their fear of dying
And people created religious ascensions
To subject the others and to enslave just to further enrich themselves
Our desire to die is stronger than all your desire for life
There is no getting away from it now, only true faith survives
Our desire to die is stronger than all your desire for life
There is no getting away from it now, only true faith survives
This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today
It doesn't matter where we die
It doesn't matter that you cry
We'll take you with us
It doesn't matter where we die
It doesn't matter that you cry
For those people who lost their lives on 11 September
And those that mourn them
Now is the time for the strength to build that community
Let that be their memorial
(A disgrace on the beyond)
(O servator, sempiterne, te grati coluimus)
(Odor atrox quo nos superfundis intolerabilis est)
Deceive yourself by yelding to soft words that cause no pain
Enrich yourself with different views learned without disdain
(A disgrace on the beyond that can never be undone)
(Who shall rise and unveil, the façade of reality?)
Deceive yourself by yelding to soft words that cause no pain
Enrich yourself with different views learned without disdain
Is there still room for new dents in old wrecks?
A disgrace on the beyond that can never be undone
Deceive yourself by yielding to soft words
Enrich yourself by making up your own mind
(Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit)
