13. Design Your Universe (A New Age Dawns Part VI) (9:29)
We're blind and eager, avarice will set us back to blank,
those who wager all will have to name a reason.
And if you can't let go you will end up empty handed.
If you can't control you'll live your life in vain.
Who decides about my time to come and who
is able to break through the circle of life and doom?
Don't look back, keep on track to break the curse,
take the chance and design your universe.
We can't undo what we have done
so show us now what we've become,
confront us with our viciousness
and our weakness.
We can't evade our destiny
so show responsability,
for we all surely have a sense
of our consciousness.
To take for taking's sake will leave a path of loss and strain
and endless breaking of faith can warrant acts of treason.
And if you can't let go you will end up empty handed,
if you can't control you'll live your life in vain.
Who decides about what's true or false and who
is able to sift through the treasures from the flukes?
Don't look back, keep on track to break the curse,
take the chance and design your universe.
We can't undo what we have done
so show us now what we've become,
confront us with our viciousness
and our weakness.
We can't evade our destiny
so show responsability,
for we all surely have a sense
of our consciousness.
The time has come, we have to see
that total wisdom is in reach.
The time has come to colour in the lines,
we must identify the signs.
So many people are full of hate
while love and light are in their reach.
So many people will harm themselves
but life can be so beautiful.
So many people will idolize while
their own success is in their reach
Don't forget you're able to design
your own universe.
Find your balance,
sink into rumination.
Ipsum te reperies!
Potire mundorum,
potire omnis mundi.
We can't undo what we have done
so show us now what we've become,
confront us with our viciousness
and our weakness.
We can't evade our destiny
so show responsability,
for we all surely have a sense
of our consciousness.
Can't undo, show us now,
confront us with our weakness.
Can't evade, show us now,
we have a sense.
those who wager all will have to name a reason.
And if you can't let go you will end up empty handed.
If you can't control you'll live your life in vain.
Who decides about my time to come and who
is able to break through the circle of life and doom?
Don't look back, keep on track to break the curse,
take the chance and design your universe.
We can't undo what we have done
so show us now what we've become,
confront us with our viciousness
and our weakness.
We can't evade our destiny
