Headstone Epitaph - Riddle lyrics

[Everyone of us, at one time or another, has surely wondered where we come from, where we are going and what is the sense of it all.]

I know we've always been asking ourselves

How do we hatch out of eggs or of shells?

Me and the birds and the flowers and trees

Out of the oceans it's hard to believe

Where do we come from? Where will we go?

This is the riddle we don?t know

Riddles of descent and our mankind

Answers come slowly to shatter our minds

Where do we come from ? It isn't quite clear

When did we first once appear?

Might not be here

If we continue the way that we choose

We're not secure if we win or we lose

The fire keeps burning inside of our heads

Keeping us weighted like iron and lead

Where do we come from? Where will we go?

This is the riddle we don?t know

Riddles of descent and our mankind

Answers come slowly to shatter our minds

Where do we come from? It isn't quite clear

When did we first once appear?

Might not be here

So come on you people this is our chance

Because we've had this success

We hold the future in our hands

To obtain this mighty progress

Can we go on without a sorrow?

For our life we beg, steal and borrow

In a world that won't stop tommorrow,

Filled with joy and restraint and horror

Riddles of descent and our mankind

Answers come slowly to shatter our minds

Where do we come from? It isn't quite clear

When did we first once appear?

Might not be here

Riddles of descent and our mankind

Answers come slowly to shatter our minds

Where do we come from? It isn't quite clear

When did we first once appear?

Might not be here
