"Cruel Perception" lyrics

"Cruel Perception"

There are truths to conquer
There are fears to amplify
What is known in all we see
Is but a dark mirage
What we see, what we feel
Further behind the veil
What is broken, what is gained
Never rein in the night

There are ways to wander
Beyond the given path
There are dark encounters
Within the mind itself

Our will to see, our will to be
Our will to call the heavens
Not an answer, it's not a sign
Just an urge to wield the dark
There's a way, there is no time
A path that leads to nothing
There's a way, there is no time
Our cruel perception

To all the words not spoken
Are we dreaming hard enough?

There are ways to wander
Beyond the given path
There are dark encounters
Within the mind itself

Our will to see, our will to be
Our will to call the heavens
Not an answer, it's not a sign
Just an urge to wield the dark
There's a way, there is no time
A path that leads to nothing
There's a way, there is no time

There are ways to wander
Beyond the given path
There are dark encounters
Within the mind itself
Within the mind itself

Our will to see, our will to be
Our will to call the heavens
Not an answer, it's not a sign
Just an urge to wield the dark
There's a way, there is no time
A path that leads to nothing
There's a way, there is no time
Our cruel perception
