lyrics

-- I. 5000 years the wait --

Quietly inhales
Sitting all alone
Questions himself
In the shadows of a room

Lonely but so strong!

Blind in pure darkness
He spent 5000 years
Achieves now the enlightenment
Coming from within

Lonely but so strong
Lonely but so strong
The darkness is gone

Open your vision
Let his light shine in
He can see clearer

Lonely but so slow
But secure
Learning from the past
Turned downside up
Realizing that
The quest is on

-- II. Light of self awareness --

On the floor, at his feet
Sleeps a layer of dust, ancient but thin
The remains of old clothes
Rotting witnesses of the time went by

On the walls, nailed frames
Picturing faces and scenes, a long life ago
But he surely remembers
It's not where he's going

Standing on, very aware
Tightly armoured in his cloak,
Whispers softly and calm
to the minds that stay open

Swings his light
Stops all fight
His truth soon will speak
His truth soon will come

Your truth soon will speak
Your truth soon will come
A truth, once, for all
A truth... Different for everyone

-- III. Enlightened Guide --

Yeaaaah, let it bless you
Yeaaah, let it guide you!

Lonely but so strong!
He's not lonely anymore!
It can guide you thru the imperfection of your life
Let it show you the path you need to find!

Let it lead you

Carries, a new begin
Move on, and fill you in
Hopeless, his trust betrayed
Useless, tired and denied
Soon he will be
Back in the dark

-- IV. The disillusion --

Stay
Where you are
Put
In the dark

Untold, unseen
They don’t deserve you, man
Your chance will come
Will come again
In 5000 years
