i'm lost in the half world where the heart and mind collide  on the shores of my dispassion with all feelings locked inside  who made the promise that the key of life is here  who drew the symbols for the mind that will appear  and i continue down the road i will not tread  and i will fear no evil from the words i have not said  who made the promise that the way of life is clear  who drew the symbols for the man that will appear    colder than starlight older than the sun  straight lines converging collapsing into one vast soul  a voice that has not spoken for 2000 years  a jealous benefactor and a yardstick full of fears    motivate your mystery i'm young enough to try  quantify your influence i'm old enough to die  signify your energy i'm tired of asking why  resolve your dichotomy i am both truth and lies    a merciful forgiveness a judgement absolute  a sacred separation or a prophecy of doom  no recollection (i don't recall) of what has gone before  no precognition (no sign at all) of what i have in store    motivate your mystery i'm young enough to try  quantify your influence i'm old enough to die  signify your energy i'm tired of asking why  resolve your dichotomy i am both truth and lies    too late your nemesis is coming for you  awakened from your sleep by what you must do  the mocking eyes of he who would devour your soul  staring through your thoughts and he is laughing at your goal    this way is easy it is logical and cruel  you can be powerful and make up your own rules  don't you see? it don't matter, what you believe  your whole existence is the reason for my fun  your weak resistance is an indulgence i've become    i was there at the beginning i will be there at the end  i'm your secret enemy and your fair weather friend  help yourself to all my gifts and my seductive charms  sign your name in blood give me all your love  with me or against me i still have no need of faith  ignorance is no excuse not one of you is safe  i control the selfishness that keeps you all in line  your running out of time i control your minds  don't you see? it don't matter, what you believe    motivate your mystery i'm young enough to try  quantify your influence i'm old enough to die  signify your energy i'm tired of asking why  resolve your dichotomy i am both truth and lies
