ALTERED AEON - OATH TO ENDURE lyrics

A spirit awakes, encapsuled in matter crude

Encapsuled in the world of time and flesh

Under an oath to endure

Survive severe conditions

In a systematic search of the soul

To return to what it is

Dulled by the world, seeking

Blindfolded bliss, hiding

Reaching for truth, fragments

Drugged by this place, wading through illusions

Drowning in filth, submerged

Lost in the role of man

Identified as one

Lasting for less than a breath in time

Embracing the hate, falling

Releasing the rage, inside

Striking its own shadows

Suddenly wakes, knowing its origin

It`s what it calls enemy

It is its own saviour

Never has it been separate

Part in a plan complete, patterns return

Once so clear, but gone as temptation`s tasted

Collapse in fear, valuable progress wasted

Where is the knowing, the creative splendor

Under an oath, an oath to endure

Once so clear, but gone as temptation`s tasted

Collapse in fear, valuable progress wasted

Where is the knowing, the creative splendor

Under an oath, an oath to endure

Seeing the whole in fragments
