How can we let this happen and Just keep our eyes closed 'till the end The only thing that counts is the prosperity of today Most important to us is that our bills get paid Our good intentions have always been delayed How can we let this happen and Just keep our eyes closed 'till the end When we will stand in front of heaven's gate It will be too late! Try to unlearn all that you've learnt Try to listen to your heart No, we can't understand the universe by just using our minds We are so afraid of all the things unknown A must we appease is the lust to get laid Nothing really matters, just devouring our prey Our good intentions have always been delayed so Our generous acts have always come too late How can we let this happen and Just keep our eyes closed 'till the end When we will stand in front of heaven's gate It will be too late! Try to unlearn all that you've learnt Try to listen to your heart No, we can't understand the universe by just using our minds We are so afraid of all the things unknown We just flee into a dream that never comes true Low to the ground we feel safe Low to the ground we feel brave Oblivisci tempta quod didicisti Open your eyes, we're not in paradise How can't you see this stress is killing me? Fulfil your dreams; life is not what is seems to be We have captured time So time made us all hostages without mercy Seemingly generous fooling ourselves Selfishly venomous time tells Too much thinking goes at the cost of all our intuition Our thoughts create reality But we neglect to be! So we're already slaves of our artificial world We shouldn't try to control life But listen to the laws of nature Open your eyes, we're not in paradise How can't you see this stress is killing me? Fulfil your dreams; life is not what is seems to be We have captured time So time made us all hostages without mercy Low to the ground we feel safe Low to the ground we feel brave We all think we're generous But we only fool ourselves The only thing that matters is Our way and our vision Selfishly we're venomous But you know the time tells us There is more to life than our Higher positions, race for perfection Better, faster We must return to the laws of the nature Free ourselves from madness
