"Cursum Perficio" lyrics

Do you wish you'd lived your life less the idiot?
And what would your life have been not playing the fool?
Raise your veil of misery, how long have you been asleep?
The weight of it all on your shoulders just to exist

Lift the veil, the vast scale
Sharpening your eyes to points
Don't sleep and dream about it
A matter of choice

'Cause now it's over
The journey's over
And now it's over
Your journey's over

History through damaged lens sanctioning your fear
An endless momentary lapse of reason disappears
Which is worse, the pain of knowing or the ignorance of not?
With the weight of it all on your shoulders, there's no room for chips

Lift the veil, the vast scale
Sharpening your eyes to points
Write an end to the nightmare
A matter of choice

'Cause now it's over
A vital crucial moment signified
The journey's over
The threads that hold it all together
And now it's over
A vital crucial moment signified
Your journey's over
The threads that hold it all together

Your presence, quintessence
There's no good, no joy at all
Failure in every success
So choose to change

Rise
Rise
Rise, laughing at the odds, you gotta rise
Perpetrated language by design
A vital crucial moment signified
And death should tremble to take you

'Cause now it's over
A vital crucial moment signified
The journey's over
The threads that hold it all together
And now it's over
A vital crucial moment signified
Your journey's over
The threads that hold it all together

Your presence, quintessence
There's no good, no joy at all
Success in every failure
It's always been your choice
