Bewilder
It is extinguishing optimism
Disenchant
Despair as a sunny vision's fading
Stolen
Weren't we promised the rewards of victors?
Unfulfilled
They were fantasies I held so dear
Stolen
And I find hope is gone
Unfulfilled
And yet I must go on
Do you find hope is gone...
If it was you all along?
In the beginning
There was none that wasn't mine
No convention or expectation
Just the will to see it unwind
In the beginning
There was nothing but my mind
It was just me and the sublime
Sublime... the beauty of our world
A force beneath the surface, a fuel for our souls
Feel the chill, it's taking hold, taking hold
Strive to be the medium and mine the ephemeral for its gold
Do you find hope is gone...
If it was you all along?
In the beginning
There was none that wasn't mine
No convention or expectation
Just the will to see it unwind
In the beginning
There was nothing but my mind
It was just me and the sublime
Sublime... does it slip through your grasp?
Peacefully prepared hearts and minds join the masters of the past
The jester taunting you at the gate, at the gate
Bows to you and steps aside, is this inspiration fate?
Bewilder
Did it extinguish the optimism?
Disenchant
So the sunny vision has now faded
Stolen
Time to forgive the old expectation
Unfulfilled
Find your way to achieve exaltation
It's out there, it's out there, don't despair
Yours to share, it's out there. It's out there, don't despair
It's out there, it's out there, don't despair
Yours to share, it's out there. It's out there, in the air
Come to find a gift to behold
Out my fingertips, from my soul
Gears of progress teeth do align
And the burden's released from my mind
Nothing matters (but this truth)
Touched the sublime
