Exist

Misguided by the grand illusion

Of our short and futile lifetime

On the scale of this vast universe

Are we all born worthless?

Mystified by the unanswered questions

About the origins of mankind

About our role in the vast universe

Are we all useless?

We feed and we breed

Spreading our seeds

We're populating

Overcrowding

We use and abuse

We're ravaging

Interdepending

Parasiting…

Nothing…What are we here for?

Nothing…What should we live for?

Nothing…Are we born to die?

Without finding…The meaning of life?

Awake

Are you dreaming?

Are you thinking?

Before you die!

But are you alive?

Realize your relevance

Are you an empty shell?

Don't rely on someone else

But manifest yourself

Stand up proud, stand up tall

Take a look at yourself

What you do is what you are

Or are you someone else?

In the course of existence

We should prove our pertinence

Not rely on anyone else

But believe in ourselves

See it clear, all the gods are dead

Let's clean the mess in our heads

All we do is all we are

Or is there something else?

There is nothing… Nothing to be gained

In acting weak, miserable and lame

You're the only one responsible

For you enlightenment, your pleasures and gains

Everything is possible if you can break your chains

There's no one to be blamed…

You live enslaved or you make a change

There is nothing, nothing to gain

There is nothing, you live enslaved or you make the change

Tout au long de notre très courte vie

Nous questionnons la raison de notre présence

Et pourtant c'est ce que nous faisons de notre temps

Qui justifie à la fin notre existence

We must try our best to survive and prosper

To find a purpose to our lives we should be looking deeper

To keep burning a passion, you must feed its fire

The will of iron, the will to power

A never-ending quest and time is ticking faster

Searching all around for a clue or an answer

Keep going, never stop; persisting forever

The will of iron, the will to power

n our search for happiness

We're shaping up reality

Good and bad, happy or sad

Defining how we want it to be

Are we useful, are we useless?

The answer still remains a guess

We were not built for any use

So what's left to do is for us to choose

First prove your worth

Before you claim back what is yours

First you will serve then join the ranks that you deserve

Will you lead or will you follow

You take the path where you want to go

Ask yourself what you can do

Not what the others could do for you

…Meritocracy…

We are not alone - so we try to communicate

We view the world - through different symbols and metaphors

Different visions - leading to hate and contempt

Understanding - seemingly unachievable

On a global scale - the world doesn't want to be saved

As individuals - we're at our most significant

Are we ready - to try to find a solution?

Do we really - want to change our ways?

Exist!

Manifest yourself

Don't rely on someone else

Before you die

Experience life!

You trace your way - first try to save yourself

Let them follow - heading up for disaster

You walk along - on a lonely path you go

On your own - outcast but not alone

We trace our way - besides the heard mentality

Will they follow - don't look back, forward we go

We walk along - the road ahead is all we know

On our own - outcast but not alone

The only answer to the question

About the meaning of life

Our only goal in this vast universe

Is to use our time to the fullest

We're alive but time's running short

We will all die and so we must: Exist!
