Lyrics
The Criterion
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.
As from now I call you echo
Incapable to paise your ego
Navigate the pain
Tramp the fields of lame
Indecision weak in vision
Leading off another fall
Navigate the pain
Tramp the fields of lame
Inner stable lasting view
Don't forget the real you
The criterion in life
Creation is the true wheel guide
Walk against current advice
From nadir zenith to face
Navigate the pain
Tramp the fields of lame
The pleasuredome don't want for home
Creation is my only dorm
Navigate the pain
Tramp the fields of lame
Inner stable lasting view
Don't forget the real you
The criterion in life
Creation is the true wheel guide
We kill our saviors just to thrill
Those times of endless bleed we spill
Fed a life on great ideas
The greatest spring of luscious tears
The greatest spring of luscious tears
