Enslaved - Essence lyrics

The question is this

By will alone

Does my heart carry the strength

To see you burn?

When I do not wish to part

To see them farewell

Does my heart carry the strength

to leave you behind?

The eternal search for purity

A fragile hope for the just and fair

Order feeds from the corpses

All beauty must die

Where is the essence

in beast or scripture?

Where lies the laws

in stars or temples?

I cannot see myself

Not your orbit

I cannot see the others

Not your eyes

It lasts forever when you let it go

Purity and Pain

Where is the essence

in beast or scripture?

Where lies the laws

in stars or temples?

I cannot see myself

Not your orbit

I cannot see the others

Not your eyes

If I told you I'd get you through

I'd have to let you fall down

Not because of malice

You needed to

And I'll remember

What we had

It lasts forever when you let it go

Purity and Pain
